A couple of classic wooden elevators in Turner, Montana.
The identification on both wooden elevators is in poor condition to say the least but it looks as though they were both owned by the International Elevator Company at some time. The logo combines the word "International" at the top, the words "Feed" and "Seed" on either side of a stylized wheat grain head within a circle and the phrase "The Co-op Way" written around the lower half of the circle. Both elevators have the logo while only one says "International." Hmmm...does this qualify me as an elevator geek?
Across the road and down a bit is this considerably larger "Equity Co-op Association" elevator which is now privately owned (I talked to the man who owns it) and still in use.
The Turner train station. The train tracks were pulled up long ago.
And last but not least, the old service station on main drag. The sign above the door advertises "60 Day Free Ride Monroe-matic Shock Absorbers and Load Levellers." Buy yours today!

Love those elevators. Turner looks like a great spot to see!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the place that you have been to that I have managed to visit. I stopped for beer in Turner about three years ago and was surprised how good the Montana craft beer is.
ReplyDeleteIt is good, isn't it! I'd go down more often if the exchange rate was better.
DeleteThat's an awful lot of weathered wood! Probably worth a fortune in and of itself.
ReplyDeleteGreat elevators!
