1917Best.-Nr. 63181Albany OR: Cameron Oregon Silo & Manufacturing Co. ca. 1917. 8vo. 4 x 9 in. 8 pp unpaginated. leporello accordion-style format photo illustrations diagrams self-printed softcovers slight closed tear to upper fore-edge fold still VG- copy. First edition of this exceedingly scarce catalogue for Cameron’s Oregon Silos being marketed to farmers across the Pacific Northwest by the Cameron Oregon Silo & Manufacturing Co. before World War I. Oregon and Washington experienced an explosive growth of Dairy Farms at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. This entailed a desperate need for good silos to store the grain and yet also to prevent spoilage. From 1895 to 1925 over 500000 silos were built across the countryside and this demand was fed by a number of specialty companies including the OS&M Co. to supply the Oregon kiln-dried Douglas Fir and market their silos which featured an ingenious spring turnbuckle connection at the bands of the mortised joints joining wooden staves eliminating the metal splines which can lead to spoilage as well as typical spoilage when they could not expand and contract. The wooden silos did require more regular maintenance than masonry silos of brick or concrete but they also avoided the leaching of lime or other mortar chemicals into the silage and avoided explosive blow-outs which occurred from freezing and fermentation on a regular basis.
