HIRSCH SASKATCHEWAN
Elevators

 


My painting of the Hirsch Elevators
My Watercolor Painting (10x14")
of the Hirsch Elevators, 
Just before they were destroyed.
I painted this in 1986, and I believe it was the year
the Elevators were tore down.
Saskatchewan Pool Elevator #822
and White Five Roses Flour Elevator,
in the background
Looking west, and I believe the power
line crossing the tracks in the background
is the power line to the Backman Farm.
I painted this from a snap shot of the 
Elevators taken by Uncle Roy
just before they were demolished
My Aunt, Dolly Backman now has this picture.

By Sept 5, 1902 Hirsch had 4 Elevators
Winnipeg Elevator Company
Northern Elevator Company
Imperial Elevator Company
Colonial Elevator Company
all were 25,000 Bushels each

In 1920 one of the elevators
was called Lake of the Woods Elevator Co.
It was operated by Mr. Frederick (Fred) Billington,
who was also the Hirsch Post Master at that time.
