"A Cake Vendor, Panama City - The common method among the West Indians is to carry their baskets and bundles on their heads.  Cakes and fruits are carried around the streets in the same manner. such sights of native life is a source of great interest to strangers."

       This dome shaped contraption must have been good keeping the flies and bees from swarming the cakes.  Note the price list shown under the dome.  The other woman watching the cake vendor doesn't look real happy for some reason.

What a classic old post card capturing a time long past into the history of Panama.
