Summary

Description

I wasn't too surprised to find a series of photos from the Philippines in Uncle Elstner's album of Japan from 1914 - 1918.

After all, he was in Japan on business, and his business was to sell sawmills. Elstner didn't leave any notes in the album to explain the Philippine photos, so I'm left to speculate that he was paying a visit on a client who was engaged in logging operations in the Philippine jungles.

  • Japan 1914 - 1918
    I own the originals of these unpublished family photos. ... As a salesman for Atkins Saw Company, Elstner Hilton traveled to the Far East to sell commercial sawmills in the early years of the 20th century. ... Elstner Hilton was my father-in-law Frank Hilton's* brother, which makes him my spouse's uncle. ...
    * Elstner Hilton's brother Frank Hilton compiled a scrapbook of photographs, clippings and other ephemera at Stanford University between 1907 and 1911. ...
    ps: I now have reason to believe that the photos of Japan may be stock photos that Uncle Elstner purchased and pasted into his album. There may be some exceptions: the images of his sister, Miriam, and photos of logging operations in the Phillippines.
