Description |
Postcard version of original photograph by Joshua Elmer. Depicts the Odessa Union Office (at left), flour mill, wheat elevator, and outdoor storage of sacked wheat. Note smoke pouring out of smokestack. Note regarding the Odessa Milling Company: "The Odessa Flour Mill, which since it was erected in 1902, had been doing business under the name of Odessa Milling Co, has been absorbed by the parent corporation The Portland Flouring Mills Co, of Portland, and will hereafter be conducted under that name. The capital of the Portland Flouring Mills Co has been raised from $400,000 to $1,300,000 and the company's mills at Lind, Prescott and Walla Walla have also been taken in." (Odessa Record in Jan 20, 2011, representing 1-27-1911). Note: Geographic coordinates accurate to within approximately 100 meters. |

Notes regarding copyright status |
All photographs in the Joshua Elmer Collection appear to be in the public domain. While individual Elmer photos frequently have an unclear publication status, most or all of his photos are very likely unpublished works; more than 70 years have passed since Elmer's death. All works that may have been published by Elmer appear to have been created prior to 1923; all other works are undated. Finally, none of Elmer's works bear a copyright notice, and there is no evidence that this collection includes works-for-hire. |
