The first 5 photos spotlight Imperial's Sales & Accounting Departments. The years span 1951 to 1964, and show the old General Offices (north of the highway) and the new ones (built in 1952 south of the highway).

The next 3 photos show T. M. Kerley, chief mechanic in Imperial's Packing Department. We see him working on complex packaging machines sometime in the early 1960s.
The remaining photos show Packing Department operations from the '20s to the '80s. A couple of notes: I don't have names at present, but I will eventually find them as I do more research. Second, some of these photos are redundant, but I thought they had aesthetic appeal, so I included them anyway.
