McCall/Dayton Press Photographs (SC-296)
Scope and Contents
The collection contains 33 photographs taken by various photographers at the McCall Corporation building in Dayton, Ohio, between the years 1923-1967. Two of the images bear the photographer’s stamp of William Preston Mayfield. Another was taken by Jackson W. Armstrong Photography. And a fourth image is marked “Kaufmann & Abry” for the famous architectural photography firm. The other images in the collection contain no descriptive or copyright information on the back though it is thought they were taken by a foreman at the plant named Robert Allen. Some of the photos have “crop” marks and are supposedly Allen’s, taken for inclusion in the company newsletter McCall Spirit.
