Hey, Chris, would you happen to have any photos of these elevators in
Vulcan? I bet most of them have been demolished by now.
Why am I asking? A few years back, the elevators in the towns
around my old stomping grounds were being torn down quite quickly.
When convenient, I managed to take some photos of 'em before
the structures were relegated to history. I've managed to gather
a small collection, but it's not organized or anything.
BTW, Vulcan has to be the *best* place name in Alberta. :-]
