Standard Chemical Company Photo Album (ca. 1915-1920) |
|||
|
This album contains a collection of photographs relating to the
operations of the Standard Chemical Company. It probably dates from
1915 to 1920.
The sequence of the photographs in the album is more or less as follows: the Paradox Valley in Colorado where the company mined its ore; the ore being taken to Placerville for shipment to Pennsylvania; the reduction mill in Canonsburg PA; and the company offices in Pittsburgh, PA. |
