  General note:

  The bulk of the images in New York State Library's collection concern topics related to World War II. Other more general subjects include sports, aviation, nostalgia and "human interest stories." War and military images are often identified as having been supplied by the various branches of the U.S. armed forces. Photoprints in this collection typically contain a montage of one to five images illustrating a main theme. Caption strips are printed with patriotic-themed borders and, in most cases, slogans advocating the purchase of war-time savings bonds. Each has a unique date code and alphanumeric identification code.

  Abstract:

  The Elliott Service Co. was established in 1913 in New York City, as a subscription photographic and pictorial news service agency providing images for window display and advertising purposes. The service supplied large-format photographs of people, places and events of current news interest, sent to its subscribers several times a week. By 1921 the company claimed over 5000 subscribers throughout the United States. The company continued in business until well after 1950. [Cf. Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York. Elliott Service Co. v. Dispatch Photo News Service Co., July 1, 1921 (197 A.D. 615, 189 N.Y.S. 459)]
