A 4" x 4" color photo of five VITA Foods forklift drivers taking a break. Standing in the back is William "Buss" Tolliver and an unidentified man. Sitting in front is Caramel Jones, Edward "Perk" Perkins, and Clarence Beck during a Sunday shift at the plant in Chestertown, Maryland. The men, all dressed in their green VITA Foods uniforms, sit in a diamond-like formation atop bags of salt. The man farthest to the back stands.
