Original 1947 Associated Press wire photo showing Detroit shoppers lined up at Canadian customs in Windsor, Ontario, on August 16, 1947, awaiting bus transportation home after shopping in Canadian food stores. The caption notes that rising Detroit food prices had driven shoppers across the border, with eggs, meat, butter, and other items increasing sharply in price.
The original caption is printed directly on the photograph. An AP stamp is present on the back. Please note the tape on the corners and general age-related wear. Measures approximately 8½ x 6 inches.
