Original electrical trade vintage magazine cover for ELECTRICAL WORLD dated February 12, 1921.
Shown is the Lincoln Monument, which is located in the Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois.
A former local company, Sangamo Electric Company of Springfield, IL, had a memorial plaque, possibly in their lobby that said:
In Honor of the One Hundred & Twelfth Birthday of the Foremost Citizen of Our City, One of the Greatest Americans of All Time, Who was a Personal Friend and Confidant of the Parents of Many of Our Employees, whose Final Resting Place is but a Short Distance from Our Door and whose Memory America Today Reveres. - Abraham Lincoln -
Originally founded in 1899 by Lanphier and Jacob Bunn, Jr., the Sangamo Electric Company went from producing electric meters in its early years to manufacturing transformers, computer equipment and even tape recorders in the later years. At its height it employed over 3,000 people in Springfield.
Unbound from a rare 1921 Electrical World magazine, this unique old one-page technical magazine cover would display beautifully matted and framed. Awesome graphics. A fabulous addition to your retro electrical industry library.
