Souvenir Friday- 1955 Disneyland Lessee Employee ID Card

A find from many years ago is the ID card for an employee of Sunny Fresh Farms. Sunny Fresh Farms store was located on Main Street and offered fresh fruit. A guest could even order boxes of fresh fruit from the catalog. This card is for an employee who was there on opening day, although the card is dated 7/22/55. I believe in the rush to get everything done, the ID card process stopped and was only picked back up when the rush was over. I do have her snapshots from opening day and will be posting them up shortly.

Ah, those innocent days when you could print somebody's Social Security number right on the ID.. My CSULB student ID number WAS my Soc. Sec. number... all 9 digits.

Wow, neat!! I have a similar card, I think from 1956, and it's blue instead of green. I'll have to dig it out and post it one o' these days.

This might be the first time I've ever heard of Sunny Fresh Farms, by the way!

It's interesting to note that Lessees still have green ID cards to this day.

I wonder who the "authorized signature" is - a little hard to read, but someone may know

and, what are the punched out numbers for?

Thanks for blanking out the SSN, this lady is apparently still alive.

While Disneyland is not listed on her resume, her DOB, Graduation, residency, and unique name all point to her being the same person.

Where exactly was Sunny View located on Main street?
