Elms trained at the Arts Institute in Chicago, where he also went on to teach. Although he is best known for his Mather Work Incentive posters, he also designed about a half-dozen images for the Chicago Rapid Transit and the North Shore Line in the 1920s. In his later years, he became a children's book illustrator and a painter. (See lot 174 for another work by the artist.)
