The Evangelical Headquarters Dining Hall was a fundraiser for the Evangelical Hospital and Deaconess Home in St. Paul. This Hospital became the West Side General Hospital. The group is sitting at the "Rail-O'matic" serving machine also known as "Baitinger's Automatic Eat". This device patented in 1923 helped serve hungry visitors at the Minnesota State Fair, Evangelical Dining Hall. In the spring 1919 edition of the "Life Line", the newsletter of the Evangelical Hospital and Deaconess Home, Rev. Baitinger describes it like this, "All foodstuffs will be automatically conveyed to the guests seated at the table, also all return dishes will find their way back into the kitchen automatically. No waiters will be necessary in this dining hall; everything will take care of itself. The only business of the guest is to take what he wants, all he wants and eat to his heart's content."

Bell Lumber and Pole Yards began business in 1919, treating telephone poles and lumber. The company hired many local men and is still in business today. In mid-1980s, after being declared a Superfund site by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Bell began the process of cleaning up the hazardous chemicals on its property, spending over $10 million to do so and also to rebuild the plant to treat poles and lumber using environmentally clean processes. This panorama photo shows the pole treating plant and the large telephone poles treated in the process.
Aerial view from the south village limits of New Brighton was taken by MacGillis & Gibbs Company, a pole yard company, which is seen in the lower half of the photo.
