Description
There was an inscription on the image. "Typical of most central Nevada mining camp meat markets, the floor was covered with sawdust and the only preserved meat available was salt pork, bacon and the hams hanging above the counter. Everything else was cut fresh from quarters. There was no refrigeration. The shops sold beef, horse meat, pork, mountain sheep and, if nothing else was available, burro meat. The cans on the shelves on the right contained lard."
