About This Item
Bend, OR & Omaha, NE: Union Pacific Railroad Co., Dept. of Traffic, 1945. Twelve pieces. Two 4to. TLS, 1 on thin onion-skin paper, the other on thicker paper stock; Two architectural drawings of offices, one sample of Union Pacific offices in Milwaukee, WI, the other in pencil on onion skin of offices in Bend, OR; 8 silver gelatin photos, sized 8 x 10 in., all with excellent contrast. This intriguing grouping opens with a letter from the Union Pacific Dept. of Traffic offices in Omaha requesting photos and floor plan of each Union Pacific office in the system, including that of E.S. Farrell in Bend, Oregon during World War II. To meet this requirement, Farrell secured eight different photos of the office interior and exterior, as well as furnishings, along with a manuscript blueprint mapping out all the principal aspects of the offices. Two of the images show the large double-sided porcelain Union Pacific sign hanging from a wrought iron bracket, painted glass sign, and interior advertising. The office furnishings are pine and fir bookshelves, chairs, desks, filing cabinets, and more. By World War II, the Union Pacific had formally absorbed the relatively independent carrier Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co., with most offices, and signs bearing the Union Pacific names.
