This 1/5 is used for raising and marketing the crop. North Whittier Heights takes 10% of all returns to cover their cost of growing and caring for the crop.
There are folds and tears on the right side, creases on the bottom and upper left corner, and early signs of foxing on the back. This object is in good condition overall.
