Best known today as the historic Colorado company behind The Western Cowboy and Arabians in the Rockies, this unusual corporate byline points back to a family-owned bean business with roots in 1917. Its surviving book has the feel of a regional historical curiosity rather than the work of a conventional individual author.

by Trinidad Bean & Elevator Company
Trinidad Bean & Elevator Company was originally a Colorado bean business founded in 1917. According to Trinidad Benham's company history, it was one of the two family-owned firms that later merged in 1978 to form Trinidad Benham.
As an author credit, the company is chiefly associated with The Western Cowboy and Arabians in the Rockies. Major book databases such as Project Gutenberg, Goodreads, and bookseller listings all attribute that title to Trinidad Bean & Elevator Company, suggesting the name functioned as a corporate or institutional author rather than a personal one.
Because the available sources describe a company, not an individual writer, there is little confirmed biographical detail in the usual sense. No clearly verifiable portrait of a specific person connected to this author credit was confirmed from the sources reviewed, so a profile image is not included.
