Second, there is no reason to believe the reefer shown necessarily brought the fish for a “carload” sale. It just supports the banner. Tony Thompson tony@...

Looking how smoothly the banner crosses the door and appears to have no thickness on the end I wonder if the picture is a photographers paste up, and the banner and the car never even met each other.. Also is the perspective of the prices quite right?

As Tony addressed, I wouldnt be surprised if the fish arrived via other means (like REA) and this reefer was just used as a facade for freshness and as a sincerity to statement stand. Maybe the reefer was rented and iced so that the (presumably abundant stock) fish could be kept somewhere cold until gone. Nice photo! -Bob
