The Sandusky Store Fixture Company

From about 1898 to 1903, the Sandusky Store Fixture Company did business in Sandusky, Ohio. It was the successor to the Sandusky Handle Company, and was located opposite the Lake Shore Railway Depot. 

An article in the August 8, 1898 issue of the Sandusky Star stated that the Sandusky Store Fixture Company had “the best wood, and the biggest load, for the best money.” In October of 1899 the company installed two new bowling alleys for Finley & Greisheimer, a Sandusky saloon on West Market Street. The alleys were regulation size, and made from the best quality maple wood. The company manufactured fixtures for banks, offices, drugstores, bowling alleys, and other businesses. 

For five years, C.A. Muelhauser, an expert in cabinet making, was a superintendent with the company. A.G. Baumeister was manager, and Nicholas Heinz and Otto Baumeister were listed as employees. The front page of the Sandusky Register of March 30, 1963 featured an article which reported that Bellevue veterinarian had recently had two saloon tables refinished, one of which had a label that was clearly inscribed with the words Sandusky Store Fixture Company.
