1967réf. 167971967. Western Union International Inc. stock certificate 1967 documents the corporate financing of Western Union's international communications business during the transition from traditional telegraphy toward newer telecommunications technologies. Western Union had separated its international cable properties into Western Union International in 1963 and the company became publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange in 1967. The certificate therefore dates to the year of that public listing and records the financial structure supporting an international communications enterprise descended from the nineteenth-century telegraph network. Western Union International Inc. Stock Certificate. 1967. Series N3669. Engraved and printed by the American Bank Note Company with an ornate orange border surrounding the principal text and a central vignette depicting two allegorical female figures among clouds. Printed facsimile signatures of the company's President and Secretary appear on the certificate. The document combines corporate ownership information with elaborate security engraving characteristic of American stock certificates preserving material evidence of Western Union International's capitalization in the year its shares entered public trading. Western Union's nineteenth-century telegraph network had transformed long-distance communication before telephone service increasingly displaced telegram traffic during the twentieth century. Its earlier confrontation with Bell over telephone patents ended with an 1879 settlement under which Western Union withdrew from the telephone business while telegraphy remained central to American commercial and social communication for decades afterward. By 1967 Western Union International belonged to a communications industry increasingly shaped by telephone cable microwave and other electronic transmission technologies making this certificate a dated corporate record of that technological transition.

1925réf. 178071925. Photograph and postcard archive circa 1910s-1940s documenting rodeo culture and competitive riding traditions across the American West with particular emphasis on organized events such as the Pendleton Round-Up and regional competitions in Oregon Montana and Nevada. The collection captures core rodeo practices including saddle bronc riding bull riding relay racing and bulldogging presenting visual evidence of both individual performers and large public gatherings. Identified riders such as Leonard Stroud Soapy Williams Milt Moe Frank Smith and Paddy Ryan appear in action situating the material within a period when rodeo emerged as a structured spectator sport tied to regional identity and western heritage. Images of grandstands filled with spectators Labor Day competitions and named championship events indicate the scale and institutionalization of rodeo culture in the early twentieth century while repeated depictions of high-risk maneuvers document the physical demands and performance conventions that defined the sport. Archive of 16 photographs and real photo postcards primarily measuring approximately 4.75 x 3 inches with one smaller photograph measuring approximately 1.75 x 2.5 inches. Most images are real photo postcards several bearing AZO and DOPS stamp boxes consistent with production dates between approximately 1925 and 1942 alongside earlier material including a copyrighted 1918 image and one example dating to 1904. Locations identified include Pendleton Oregon; Bozeman Montana; and Nevada. Several images carry printed or negative titles including "Leonard Stroud on Indian Tom wins championship at Cheyenne Wyo."; "Soapy Williams on Glasseye"; and "Milt Moe on Tea Trader." The archive includes multiple scenes from the Pendleton Round-Up featuring bulldogging by Frank Smith in 1923 relay racing during a 1925 Labor Day event and additional captioned scenes such as "They treat 'em rough at the Roundup." Other images depict riders thrown from horses bull riding sequences and staged or candid action views that emphasize the dynamic movement and risk inherent in rodeo performance. Sixteen photographs and postcards on cardstock mounts with a mix of black and white and sepia tones. Light wear consistent with handling including minor surface wear and occasional spotting; overall very good condition. A concentrated visual record of early twentieth-century rodeo culture in the American West documenting named competitors regional events and the development of rodeo as a public spectacle. unknown books

1920réf. 235991920. Western logging and resource extraction photo archive circa 1925 to 1940 documenting the engineering labor and transportation systems that supported industrial development across the American West. The photographs record the transformation of forests and mountain landscapes into organized production sites through road construction surveying bridge building temporary camps and mechanized earthmoving. Their emphasis falls not on harvested timber alone but on the infrastructure that allowed western pine forests and mineral resources to be exploited on an industrial scale during the period when the Western Pine Association promoted standardized forestry practices and expanding commercial lumber production throughout the Pacific Coast states. Photo archive of 11 silver gelatin photographs approximately 3.5 x 4.5 inches Northern California Oregon and Arizona circa 1925 to 1940. The photographs show crews grading wide logging roads with early bulldozers and earthmoving equipment; surveyors laying out roadbeds with transits and leveling rods; timber bridges and heavy wooden structures under construction; logging camps with canvas bunkhouses and workers posed outside camp buildings; cultivated fields and company gardens established beside mountain camps; and forest clearings where wagons equipment and draft animals remain in use alongside mechanized machinery. Two photographs depict Arizona mining operations and retain contemporary manuscript captions on the versos. One reads "This is a view of the sluice box before it is quite done has a large or tall gin pole to be put up above hopper for pulleys to work on." Another identifies a camp and garden noting "This is a picture of the camp and garden and in the back ground can see the sluice box in the canyon." Several images appear to have been produced as documentation of western pine logging operations possibly in connection with the Western Pine Association or a related lumber concern. The archive belongs to the decades when western timber companies shifted from rail centered logging toward increasingly extensive truck roads crawler tractors and mechanized grading allowing commercial harvesting to penetrate previously inaccessible stands of ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forests in Northern California and Oregon. Founded in 1916 the Western Pine Association encouraged scientific forestry standardized lumber grading and modern logging methods as western pine became one of the nation's principal building materials during the interwar years and the approach to the Second World War. The Arizona views complement this narrative by documenting comparable engineering practices in western mining where sluice boxes temporary camps and improvised lifting systems illustrate the labor required before mechanized extraction reached full capacity. Particularly notable is the absence of hard hats and modern protective equipment reflecting industrial work before federal occupational safety regulations fundamentally altered logging and construction practices after the creation of OSHA in 1970. Light surface wear occasional corner rubbing and minor silvering; overall in very good condition. A concentrated visual record of the engineering labor and temporary infrastructure that made large scale timber and mineral extraction possible across the early twentieth century American West. unknown books
