In The Grocery

Posted on by

1959. Typ­i­cal gro­cery depart­ment. There is not too much food-stuff on the shelves. Actu­ally, the shelves are com­pletely empty. There is some­thing behind the sales­man hang­ing on the wall. It is dif­fi­cult to recog­nise what that actu­ally is. Look like decom­posed cow car­casses or some­thing wrapped in the oil-paper. Well, we want to believe that it is just meat.
