Fresno California Clovis Poultry Ranch 1940s Postcard Unposted Black and White

This 1940s postcard presents an aerial view of the Clovis Poultry Ranch near Fresno, California, documenting agricultural production in the San Joaquin Valley during the mid-twentieth century.

Fresno County developed into one of California’s most productive agricultural regions, with diversified operations that included fruit orchards, row crops, and commercial poultry ranches. Family-run poultry farms supplied both wholesale and retail markets, and promotional postcards often highlighted scale, layout, and branding to emphasize reliability and modernity. Aerial perspectives such as this one showcased efficiency, land use, and the organized footprint of rural enterprises.

The image is captioned Clovis Poultry Ranch Home of the Pheasant Chicken and includes the printed line Fresh killed daily—Wholesale and Retail Henry and Ronald Rosenthal. The black-and-white view shows multiple buildings, cultivated fields, access roads, and surrounding farmland in a structured grid typical of valley agriculture. The reverse is unposted.
