Title	NCR Flood Relief Activities Photographs
Subject	Business and Labor Climate and Weather NCR Corporation Floods Assistance Kitchens Food
Place	Dayton (Ohio) Montgomery County (Ohio)
Description	These three photographs show the activities of the National Cash Register Company (NCR) during and after the 1913 flood in Dayton, Ohio. The first photograph depicts one of flood relief offices on the tenth floor of the NCR building. A sign in front of the desk reads, "Get tickets for meals at the Cash Register (Here)." A second photograph shows a kitchen set up on the first floor of NCR Building No. 10. Dorothy Patterson, daughter of company founder John H. Patterson, is in the center of the photograph. A final photograph is an aerial view of tents set up on NCR grounds to house flood refugees. The photographs measure approximately 9.5" x 7.25" (24.13 x 18.42 cm). In late March of 1913, an unusually heavy rainstorm moved into Ohio. It rained steadily for five days and the streams all over Ohio rose rapidly. By the third day of the downpour, levees were overtopped and many towns suffered disastrous flooding. Floodwaters of the Miami, Stillwater and Mad Rivers inundated the greater part of Dayton. The flood claimed more than 300 lives in Dayton and surrounding areas, and brought more than $100,000,000 in property damage. Great fires that raged unchecked added to the destruction and the loss of life.
