192358809Portland OR: n.p. 1923. One large silver gelatin photograph sized 14 x 23.5 in. w/o photographer’s imprint or markings on thick matte finish photo paper very very slight closed tear at lower fore-edge neatly repaired in original glass & frame now w/ archival foam core backing. This wonderful image graced the offices of the Oregon Auto Stage Terminal Co. in downtown Portland out of the Union State Depot. Following World War I over 135 motor buses and automobiles operated over 16 different routes within a 125-mile radius of Oregon. Before the Oregon Auto Stage Terminal was built countless unlicensed and registered companies stationed themselves at corners hotels and spots throughout the city resulting in many complaints from both tourists and residents. The OAST Co. established a well organized system that allowed more than 10000 passengers to be carried every year and these Fageol buses along with White Co. coaches were especially popular on the windy and picturesque route along the Columbia River Highway. We could find no similar surviving promotional company photo for the Company. See: Earl Brownlee Various Makes of Busses are Used with Marked Success. . .
