C.F. Denzer Office Supply Business

 

C.F. Denzer sold office supplies at his store at 210 Columbus Avenue, near East Market Street, for many years. By 1940, the business had relocated to East Market Street, and later onto Water Street. Above is the cover of a promotional item from Barker’s Greeting Cards, given away at Denzer’s. It is a clever item used to store four different types of stamps. Here is the inside:

(This item is probably from between July 1932 and December 1951, when first class postage was three cents and postcards were a penny.)

 Besides office supplies, Denzer’s also sold greeting cards and wrapping paper for gifts.

This advertising card indicates that C.F. Denzer sold “a penholder for every taste.”

Eventually C.F. Denzer changed its name to Denzer’s, Inc. The company’s final location in Sandusky was at 2111 Cleveland Road, ending around the mid-1980s.
