Description: Reverse reads: "This is the first National Cash Register opened, this register used roll paper. It was first used in the Miners' Supply Co. in Coalton, Ohio." This is a photograph of the first National Cash register ever used at the Miners' Supply Co. in Coalton, Ohio. It is shown here opened. The National Cash Register Company was founded by John H. Patterson in Dayton, Ohio. Patterson (1844-1922), hoping the machines could save him money by reducing accounting errors in his supply business, purchased the patent rights to the cash register from James Ritty in 1884. Within six months, he reduced his debt and showed a profit. Patterson built the first National Cash Register factory on his family's farm in Dayton in 1888. By the turn of the century, the company had become one of the largest employers in Dayton. Known for his strict training program for salespeople and health and education programs for employees, Patterson was closely involved in the daily lives of many of his workers. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. Like most of Ewing's work, it was likely taken in southeastern Ohio or central West Virginia. Born in 1870 in Washington County, Ohio, near Marietta, Ewing most likely began his photography career in the 1890s. The 1910 US Census and a 1912-1913 directory list him as a photographer. A negative signed "Ewing Brothers" and a picture with his younger brother, Frank, indicate that Frank may have joined the business. After 1916, directories list Albert as a salesman. He died in 1934. The Ewing Collection consists of 5,055 glass plate negatives, each individually housed and numbered. Additionally, the collection includes approximately 450 modern contact prints made from the glass plate negatives. Subjects include infants and young children, elderly people, families, school and religious groups, animals and rural scenes. In 1982, the Ohio Historical Society received the collection, still housed in the original dry plate negative boxes purchased by Albert J. Ewing. A selection of the original glass plate negatives were exhibited for the first time in 2013 at the Ohio Historical Center. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: A jumbo postcard contains a black and white profile portrait of Abraham Lincoln. On the back on the postcard reads, “Abraham Lincoln. Photograph by Mathew B. Brady, made in Washington, D.C., on February 9, 1864. Brady made many photographs of the President during this visit. Brady was our best-known photographer of the period. He had set up a studio in New York in 1842 and later established a branch in Washington. During the Civil War he was given permission to travel with armies and take pictures in the field. Lincoln was planning changes in command that were to prepare for the final stages of the war. Within a month he was to summon Ulysses S. Grant to Washington to become commander of all the Union armies. This photograph is known as the “Brady Profile.” The face on the Lincoln penny is based on this photograph. This photograph is identified as Meserve No. 82, taking its name from Frederick Hill Meserve of New York, the distinguished collector who has devoted the major portion of his life to the collecting and identification of all known Lincoln photographs.” View on Ohio Memory.
