View of Dickinson Salt Works from opposite bank of Kanawha River. Made about 1910. This is the only picture in existance showing salt loaded on barge for ferrying across river where it was loaded on C&O Railroad. The New York Central Railroad had served the plant for years before this picture was taken, but due to higher freight rates by the NYC, it was still possible to ship by C&O to some points at a saving.
Caption on back reads, 'When better coal is prepared, White Oak will load and prepare it. We are proud of this picture of a car of "White Oak" Lump coal. This picture was also taken without the knowledge of the White Oak employees who loaded it. If you drive past any of the White Oak Mines on U.S. Highway 19-21, in Fayette County, W. Va., you will see many just like it.'
