For several decades, the Hinde and Dauch Paper Company was a
leading company in the production of corrugated paper products. James J. Hinde
is credited with developing the corrugated process that revolutionized the
shipping industry in the early 1900s. Below is an advertisement for an early
bottle wrapper that allowed products in glass containers to be shipped safely.
The American Crayon Company began
with the development of chalk being molded into a stick. Later the company made
crayons and other educational products, and provided employment for hundreds of
area residents.
Willard A. Bishop was a photographer in Sandusky for
many years. (You can see several of Mr. Bishop’s photographs at the Sandusky
Library Archives Research Center.)
He was issued a patent for a copying camera in 1914.
Wilbert G. Schwer was issued Patent
Number 1,696,584 on December 25, 1928, while he was associated with the Sandusky Tool Company. His patent related to the improvement of planes.
Though the company went out of business in the late 1920s,
planes from this firm are still highly sought after by collectors.
