Food supply system in Isthmian Canal Commission operations
The Subsistence Department sustains about sixty thousand workers and families by importing suitable foods for diverse nationalities. Cristobal hosts vast facilities with cold storage, bakeries, butter printing, ice plants, and ships from New York and New Orleans delivering perishable goods weekly. The program includes commissary and hotel branches, daily deliveries, and price structures based on coupons, with extensive provisioning for Americans, Italians, Spaniards, and West Indians.
