The above is from an ad in the 1923 Des Moines city directory found at
the Wi. State Hist. Society Library in Madison, WI.  According to
various Des Moines directories, in earlier years, 1903-1905, Elimino
was at a diff. address: 117 Locust. In the 1903 directory, Elisha's address
is Maxwell, IA, but he is president of Elimino in Des Moines. By 1904,
he has moved to 1099 26th St. Des Moines.  By 1923 he & the company
had moved to 1332 26th Street (he lives there in the 1920 census,
also).  For a period, 1934 at least, his daughter Emma J. was running
Elimino.  But in most other years, (1923,1947,1952) Emma is listed as a
Drake Registrar (although she is listed as a teacher in 1937.)
Emma is in the Des Moines directories through 1967.
