A wood-plank prisoner transfer jail, 1893.
I like that idea. Beats waiting on the side of the road for that slow poke from the next Co. to show up.

Back in the day most of these companies also made corn cob duck calls.
Union Pipe Company, Owensville, MO. Circa 1905-09. Union Pipe Factory began operation in 1905. Making “Missouri sweet corn cob pipes,” the factory at North Second Street and McFadden Avenue employed between 25 and 50 workers at various times. That year, according to statistics compiled by the State Labor Commission, 90,550 pounds of corn cob pipes, or 1,086,600 individual corn cob pipes, and 1,200 pounds of pipe stems (80,000) were shipped. In addition, 14 carloads of raw corn cobs were shipped to other pipe makers. In July 1909, the pipe factory was destroyed by a fire that spread next door to the Farmers & Mechanics Mill, which provided electrical power to the pipe factory. The mill was rebuilt on the same location and stood until it was razed circa 2015. Photo Repository: Zinn Family Photos. Restoration by LongView HD.
