Description: Photograph taken outside of Hennick's Restaurant during a promotional visit from the bellboy mascot of Phillip Morris, John Roventini, 1938. The signature reads "Best Wishes to Herb Hennick's --Johnny Jr." Hennick's Restaurant was a popular hangout on the Ohio State University campus during the early and mid-20th century. Owned by Herb Hennick, it was located at 1824 North High, across Fifteenth Avenue from another Ohio State landmark, Long's Book Store. It began around 1904 as a modest storefront offering candy, cigars, sodas and such, but soon evolved into a popular spot to meet after university football games when the Buckeyes played at "Ohio Field" on High Street. The business closed in the 1950s. 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.
