Title	Alamosa, 1891
Summary	Dark smoke pours from the Alamosa Milling & Elevator Co. in Alamosa County, Colorado. Several men in suits and hats, and two in white work clothes, pose on a platform with a cart loaded with white sacks of flour. Another man in a suit stands alone in front of the mill. There are three boxcars on the railroad tracks along the side of the elevator. Several broick and wood structures make up the mill, established in 1880, that produced some 300 barrels of Blanca and Four Aces Flour every day for the Colorado and Southwest market. Over 100,000 bushels of valley grown wheat could by stored in the huge elevator.
