Many of the employees of the Jackson Underwear Company were female.
By 1911 the manufacturing division of the A.H. Jackson Manufacturing Company was still at the northeast corner of North Depot and McDonough Streets, while a retail department was located at the southwest corner of Market and Wayne Streets. An advertisement in the February 11, 1920 issue of the Sandusky Register indicated that beginners would be able to earn a salary while learning on the job.
Amos H. Jackson passed away in Fremont on August 30, 1924. The Jackson Underwear Company ceased operations in Sandusky in the early 1930s.

I remenber that building for two reasons: During the summer of one of my high school years (1950-54), I tried to get a summer job in that building, which at that time housed the Sandusky Folding Box Company. I didn't get the job. The 2nd reason for remembering that building is that for several years my brother Bob Daniel, and his wife Jane (Gerold) and thier first four children, lived on McDonough Street next to that factory.
Three of the Baumann sisters worked at Jackson's Underwear Factory - Mertie, Faye, Mary. They helped supported their mother with 10 children after their father died in 1898, kicked by the horse he was brushing. They lived in Fremont, Ohio. As told by my grandmother Mertie.
