Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Einhart leans against a well that is taller than he is, examining the muddy ground underneath. Wife of the general manager of the dry ice company Mrs. Carl M. Einhart was the inventor of the plant, all thanks to her curiosity over the smoking baby volcanos mired in the gray mud. The plant is located by the Salton Sea, one of the hottest places in America, and churns out product that is chilled at 109 degrees below zero. Photograph appears with the article, “Famous Bubbling Mud Pots Become Site of Niland's Busy Dry Ice Plant", Los Angeles Times, 01 June 1936: 12. Text from newspaper caption: Carbon dioxide zooming up a well from a depth of 600 feet supplies material for the dry ice plant at Niland, the desert's strangest industry. Carl M. Einhart, general manager, is shown at the well, developed on site of bubbling mud pots. Handwritten on negative: Carl M.
