EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a slice of history from 1939 in Nyssa, Malheur County, Oregon. The image showcases the Farmers Supply Co-op, which was established in 1936 and boasted an impressive membership of 800 farmers from the county. The co-op not only provided agricultural supplies but also offered a range of modern conveniences such as radios, washing machines, and refrigerators to its members. The signs displayed on the building highlight additional services available at this bustling establishment: safe tire repairs, Prestone Anti-Freeze products, and lubrication services. The presence of Coca-Cola advertisements adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene. Dorothea Lange's keen eye for capturing everyday life during significant periods shines through in this photograph. Taken during the Great Depression era when economic hardships were prevalent across America, Lange's work often focused on documenting social issues and their impact on ordinary people. This particular image is part of Lange's collection commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under the Office of War Information (OWI). It serves as a reminder of how cooperative movements played a vital role in supporting communities during challenging times. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Congressional Library archives, this print offers us an intriguing glimpse into both historical context and timeless human resilience.
