Description

Montage of 3 Cedar Rapids landmarks from left to right. "Cedar Rapids, Iowa located on Hwy. 30-218 showing First Ave, Municipal Island, Quaker Oats Plant, Aerial photo showing Cedar River and Business District." -- t.p. verso. "May's Island (Municipal Island) is an example of creative urban planning. A natural feature--the island in the river which bisects the city--was developed to create a link, both physical and pscychological, between the two parts of the city of Cedar Rapids. This concentration of government activity contributes to a local sense of civic and commercial unity seldom found in cities bisected by rivers." The Quaker Oats Company was founded in 1901 by the merger of four oat mills: The Quaker Mill Company of Ravenna, Ohio, a cereal mill in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, owned by George Douglas and Robert Stuart, The German Mills American Oatmeal Company in Akron, Ohio, and the Rob Lewis & Co. American Oats and Barley Oatmeal Corporation. Number 17484-B.
