Flour mill: simplified model use Gold Medal Flour. . . ; A kernel of wheat: Washburn-Crosby’s Gold Medal Flour. . . Two large colour lithograph linen-backed posters.

1920réf. 64634Minneapolis MN & Chicago IL: Washburn-Crosby Co. Edwards & Deutsch Lithographing Co. ca. 1920. Two large colour lithograph linen-backed posters sized 28 x 41 in. with the first illustrating the 24 steps with illustrations and text in green black & red green & red borders and lettering; 2nd cutaway image of wheat kernel on deep blue background minor edgewear dustsoiling to fore-edges some minor creasing & wear still a VG pair of original posters. First editions thus of these marvelous colour lithograph advertising and education posters detailing the Gold Medal Flour Milling process by the Washburn-Crosby Co. mills during the Progressive Era. Washburn-Crosby Co. had been founded in the 19th-Century and after inventing the middlings purifier for producing high quality flour from the Spring wheat grown in Minnesota and the Dakotas quickly expanded. Washburn-Crosby also introduced the gradual reduction process through pulverizing porcelain chilled iron or steel rollers to gradually pulverize the purified middlings and integrate the gluten with starch and finally they installed the exhaust system of William de la Barre to reduce the risk of explostions. A smaller version of this cutaway design of a Washburn-Crosby flour mill first appeared in the 1915 Wheat & Flour Primer advertising their Gold Medal Flour and this one was issued just a few hours later in a larger format detailing how the consumer could trust the purity of Gold Medal Flour. The second cutaway poster vividly illustrates the ideal Spring wheat kernel used by the company and details the various layers and their terminology. Edwards & Deutsch Lithographing Co. was first founded in 1896 and continued to be one of Chicago’s most successful poster and packaging colour lithography printers through the 1920’s.

First editions thus of these exceedingly scarce General Electric sales catalogues containing price lists sales brochures sales information and technical instructions for salesmen to retail appliance department stores hardware stores and electrical utilities across America detailing to their potential customers the home and commercial refrigerator possibilities for better preserving foodstuffs and providing cool water and ice cream. General Electric during the opening years of the Great Depression launched themselves to the top of the fast expanding refrigeration and electrification movement as they transitioned to their Monitor Top refrigerator as well as introducing their “Thermocraft” insulation material which significantly reduced weight per cubic foot and allowed them to easily out-compete their main competitors including Westinghouse and Maytag. These Monitor-top refrigerator units were marketed widely with an ad campaign emphasizing the sanitary white enamel finish on steel that “simplifies housekeeping and safeguards health” for the family built as one air-tight units for both home and commercial uses operating relatively quitely and protecting the food inside from unwanted bacteria and decay. The name Monitor-Top derives from the refrigeration unit’s resemblance to the turret on the Civil War battleship the USS Monitor and would become the bestselling refrigerator over the next decade. The Salesman’s Handbook emphasizes how the interest on the money invested in an electric refrigerator is less than the average price paid by a consumer for ice deliveries for antiquated “Iceboxes” as well as emphasizing just how much food can be stored in them ice made inside the units and how invaluable they are for keeping healthy milk and dairy products at the proper temperatures.

[FOOD & DRINK -- BISCUITS & COOKIES]. [GREER, Jesse Wade].Biblio.com

Nice grouping of 10 scarce original photographs of Greer baking & packaging machinery for a Lowell Massachusetts cracker company prior to World War II.

1935réf. 58780Lowell MA & Boston MA: J.W. Greer Co. The Fellman Studio for Creative Photography 30 Huntington Ave.; Marion Photographers ca. 1935. Ten silver gelatin photographs sized 8 x 10 in. inserted through corner slots on Bainbridge Board sized 10.5 x 12 in. mimeograph typescript labels neatly mounted at lower fore-edge of all images some creasing to corners from having been inserted into slots many w/ pencil annotations nearly all w/ photographer’s imprints on versos minor scuffing & wear to boards some edgewear wear to corners still VG set. A scarce group of original sales photographs for Greer biscuit cracker & cookie making machinery which allowed automated production and packaging. The first image depicts the “Cutting Machine” which rolled the dough into sheets and cut out the individual crackers placing them onto conveyors to the ovens. The immense gas burning oven with valves and temperature mixers mounted alongside includes photos of both the discharge from the cutting machine onto the oven conveyor and the discharge onto the cooling conveyors. The final five photos focus on the filling and weighing machinery which would ensure the correct amounts per package and then pack them in rolls insert into cartons and tightly seal each carton. Greer 1876-1950 was a machinist and inventor who began producing some of the world’s first automated bakery and confectionery equipment before World War I founded J.W. Greer Co. in 1919 and would eventually grow to a company of over 650 employees. The company continued to expand through World War II and later became the Wire Belt Co. still operating today in Londonderry NH. Since half of these photographs were shot by a Lowell MA photographer these could possibly have been automated machines installed for use by the Lowell Cracker Co. beloved for their soda oyster crackers or the Johnson Educator Food Company best known for Crax crackers sprayed with butter oil.

The new packing house in Somerville MA included 6 acres of cold storage for dressed meats and packaged meats brought into the East from Chicago as well as maintaining local stockyards and slaughter house operations in and around Boston. Swift 1839-1903 had originally grown up and worked in West Sandwich Cape Cod MA and in the 1870’s moved to Chicago where he became a driving force in the meatpacking industry. He was the first to employ refrigerated cars over protests of other butchers and major railroads which rightly believed the refrigerated systems would threaten their lockhold on stock cars and animal pens. By the 1890’s Swift & Co. had established North Packing & Provision Co. and were transporting over 3000 carcasses a week into Boston forcing other firms such as Armour & Co. to copy their methods. The subsidiary also allowed him to overcome resistance from East Coast meat retailers who questioned safety of frozen meat and so vastly did he increase production the packing house was able to dominate the Eastern markets.

A wide variety of packing options included water pack light syrup heavy syrup and frozen offerings which were packed into 10 oz. metal and paper fibre cans. Oregon Fruit Products was one of the many U.S. Companies to quickly expand their offerings with Abbot Laboratories notorious artificial sweetener Sucaryl Calcium Cyclamate which was marketed towards those dieters and customers with diabetes or other metabolic disorders wishing for sweet-tasting foods. However within 12 years after the “Oretetic” brand products were introduced in 1969 the FDA banned cyclamates due to two 1968 studies tracing links to bladder cancer. Gehlhar 1886-1969 originally purchased 10 acres in the West Side Fruit Farm district of Salem OR in 1910 and began farming and by 1920 was operating 160 acres producing cherries & prunes and later built the Gehlhar prune dryer in 1926. In 1931 he served as the first Oregon State Director of Agriculture and after a 1935 fire destroyed his fruit dryer the cannery remained and he chose to instead focus on canning and marketing canned fruit products for distribution in the Pacific Northwest. Although originally focused on canned fruits and then later frozen products by the late 1980’s and early 1990’s the company began diversifying their product line. In 2011 the Gehlhar family sold the company to Ed Maletis who have now expanded to a new location in Salem OR.
