In the early part of the twentieth century, for over twenty
years Carl L. Osberg operated a drug store on the street level of the Odd
Fellows building on Washington Row in downtown Sandusky . You can see row after row of
bottles lined up behind the counter in the pharmacy.
After selling his business, Carl L. Osberg worked for a time
in real estate in Detroit .
In 1931 Mr. Osberg started the Estmont Company, a manufacturing chemists
business which specialized in cosmetics. The Estmont Company was started in Detroit , but moved to
Vermilion in 1932, where Carl L .Osberg ran the company with his sons Carl and
Leonard Osberg. On April 21, 1947, Carl Osberg died in a nursing home in Lorain . He was buried in
the family lot at Sandusky ’s Oakland Cemetery .
The Sandusky Library Archives
Research Center
is fortunate to have been given several vintage pictures of the former Osberg
Drug Store. The interior views of the store remind us of a time gone by.
