Lot of eighteen photographs of the Sun Portland Cement Company's plant in Lime, Oregon. These photographs are printed on real photo post card stock. These are part of a set of 20 photographs taken by Wesley Andrew, a well-known photographer and publisher of post cards from Baker, Oregon. Each photograph is numbered and titled, No. 5 and 11 are not present in this set. These photos show many different viewpoints of the plant including close-ups of buildings, overviews of the quarry and mining operations, and views from the tramway. A paper that came with the lot provides the following historical context for the photos, "In 1926, the Sun company merged with the Oregon Portland Cement Company.... Several of the [postcard] titles include the Sun Portland Cement Company name which indicated the photos were taken sometime after the 1926 merger." Postcards are 5.25 x 3.25 in 6.25 x 4.25 sleeves, very good condition. City: State:Oregon Date:1926
