This is a photograph showing DS&O Rural Electric Cooperative's employees standing by a truck at the warehouse in Solomon, Kansas. The people in the photograph are (left to right) Roy Duck, Jake Elmore, Walt Moyer, Marv Eisenhauer, and Andy Anderson. DS&O Electric Cooperative was established during the Great Depression as part of the federal recovery effort to bring the advantages and economic stimulus of electric power to rural Kansas. In 1991, Smoky Valley Electric Cooperative in Lindsborg, Kansas, merged with DS&O, adding to the Cooperative's coverage area and member base. DS&O Rural Electrical Cooperative's office is located in Solomon, Kansas. It was named DS&O because members were from Dickinson, Saline, and Ottawa counties.
