Title
Oliver Typewriter Office 1911 Persson
Description
Taken in front of the Oliver Typewriter complex, a man stands between the railroad tracks in front of the main entrance on Newell street. The large electric sign was installed in 1911 and a large Printype Policeman was added to the sign in 1912.
Local amateur photographer Guss Persson took photos and sold them as postcards between 1905 and 1916. This print is postcard size but has no printing on the back.
The Oliver Typewriter Company took over the Tappan Steam Pump factory in 1896 and closed in 1928 when Alemite bought the factory.
