Description: Original description reads: "Street view. Shopping along Prospect Ave., Cleveland." This photograph shows Prospect Avenue, facing west, in Cleveland Ohio. The first building on the right is Weinberger Cut Rate Drug Store ("Where spending is saving!", founded by Adolph Weinberger in 1912 (his first store was located at E. 30th Street and Scovill Avenue). The drugstore grew quickly into a chain and by1945 all the stores were consolidated under the name Gray Drug Stores, Inc. Business began to decline in the 1960s , but Weinberger's son Jerome improved the stores and added a variety of products which helped revive the company. Gray's was taken over by Sherwin Williams Co. in 1981, who in turn sold the company to Rite Aid Corp in 1987. The next store is Volk's Credit Jewelers, located at 417 Prospect Avenue. Established in 1899, the pawnbroker is now called Volk's Jewelery and Loans. Above the pawn store is Dr. David Volk, Optometrist. Aspheric ophthalmic lenses were developed by Dr. Volk in 1956, which was a great improvement over common spheric lenses. The success of this development led Dr. Volk to form Volk Optical / Tech Optics Inc, in 1974 which commercially manufactured lenses. This led to a series of improvements over the years which has continually allowed the company to be a leader in the field of optics. Farther down the street can be seen signs for "Mary Lee Old Time Home Made Candies", "Anders Cafeteria", and "Kroger" View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The Republic Steel Corporation Collection (MSS 192) consists of 13,000 black and white photographic negatives, 2,000 color photographic negatives, and many 35 mm slides which document Republic Steel Corporation’s main production facilities and its subsidiaries, 1941-1975. This collection also includes images of social events such as company picnics, award banquets, and dances. Founded in 1899, Republic Iron and Steel Company was a steel production company based in Youngstown, Ohio, and the result of a consolidation of 34 steel mills across the United States including the Mahoning Valley’s Brown Bonnell Iron Company, Andrews Brothers and Company, and Mahoning Iron Company. From 1927-1937, Republic Iron and Steel Company expanded its reach by acquiring a number of other companies such as Trumbull Steel Company in Warren, Ohio, and Central Alloy Steel Corporation in Canton, Ohio. With its expansion, Republic Iron and Steel Company became the third largest steel producer in the United States behind United States Steel Corporation and Bethlehem Steel Company, and changed its name to Republic Steel Corporation to reflect its new status. After the outbreak of World War II in 1941, the Corporation’s production increased by 33%. This increased production continued into the 1950s and 1960s as the company continued to be one of the leading developers of steel production technology. Due to a myriad of factors including decreased demand for steel from automobile manufacturers and imported foreign steel, steel sales declined and in 1984 the Republic Steel Corporation was purchased by LTV Corporation, which led to the closure of the Youngstown plant. LTV filed for bankruptcy in December 2000. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph shows what appears to be a husband and wife, surrounded by their ten children and pet dog. It 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.
