The picture entitled FILING THROUGH, is a copy of an original oil painting by Ed. Paulson
'50.
Ed writes, An atmosphere of fog, steam, and wood smoke creates a winter background for
this Turn-of-the-Century scene. A diminutive H. K. Porter 0-60 with its tannery-bound load
of hemlock stands by as a two-truck Shay threads its way onto the main line. The Chippewa
Lumber company ran this logging operation, in the eastern tip of Michigan's Upper
Peninsula, during the early 1900's. |

IN THE GOOD OLD
WINTER TIME |
Reproduction of an
original oil painting by E.O. Paulson '50. Winter evening in a small New England town at
the turn of the 20th century. The scene conveys many of the moods and trends that were in
transition at that period of time from gas-light to electricity, convenient cross-country
travel by rail, the altering landscape changing
from forest to agriculture to industrial. Today, while the old mill is gone, the mill-pond
remains to attract its evening skating parties. The rails continue to serve the
community's agriculture and industrial needs. The memories of a quieter, more peaceful era
remain with us always.
