[Featuring Dieselducy]  I don't know anything about Miller Elevator.  I got the name from Missouri Elevator Inspection records, so I don't know if they installed or modernized it.  In any case, this is the first time that I've seen Epco Survivor Plus fixtures without lights!  And also, thanks to Streetcar1743 for tipping us off to this unique elevator!

EDIT:  I found some information on a caption on an old photo:  "The Miller Elevator Company was located in a substantial building at 9th and Victor streets; the corner here is still occupied by a foundry, although the building appears to have been substantially reclad. Miller produced both passenger and freight elevators, using electricity, steam, hydraulics, belts and hand power, depending on your fancy. Miller Elevator was later bought by the Otis Elevator conglomerate; their offices are now located in Brentwood, Mo."

EDIT 2:  This is the corner referred to in the description:  http://maps.google.com/maps?q=9th+and+victor&hl=en&ll=38.601996,-90.207624&spn=0.004411,0.013894&sll=38.629377,-90.19505&sspn=0.013745,0.027874&vpsrc=6&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=38.601991,-90.207625&panoid=FvCVmf_PObFfS3GZ6jGqGg&cbp=12,173.33,,0,-11.75 Follow me on:
