Description: This Wan-Eta Cocoa canning jar was manufactured in Boston, Massachusetts between 1930 and 1960. The quart-size jar has a number "8" printed on the bottom. During World War II, conserving garden produce for later consumption became a vital activity to support the war effort. Canning and drying food was essential to increasing the food supply on the home front, for troops abroad, and for hungry citizens of Allied nations. The canning process prevented fruits and vegetables from spoiling. By removing oxygen from jars holding produce, undesirable bacteria would not be able to grow. Good vacuums created in canning jars formed tight seals that keep liquid in and air out. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Three photographs document a Soap Box Derby race in Akron, Ohio. Myron Scott, a Dayton Daily News photographer, established the All-American Soap Box Derby in Dayton in 1933. The first race was such a success that another was planned for the following year, with support of newspapers across the country. Akron Beacon Journal sports editor Jim Schlemmer was instrumental in garnering support from Akron's rubber companies for the race. Shortly after the 1934 race, a delegation from Akron met with Derby sponsor Chevrolet to explore the possibility of making the Derby a national event and moving it to Akron. They were successful and in 1935 the Soap Box Derby was held in Akron on Tallmadge Hill. The following year the Derby was held at Derby Downs, a Works Progress Administration project built adjacent to the Akron Municipal Airport. Each summer the Derby attracts youth from all over the world to compete in the Gravity Grand Prix. The photographs measure 3" x 5" (7.62 x 12.7 cm). View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Located in present-day George Rogers Clark Park just west of Springfield is the home of 19th century Clark County pioneers Daniel and Catharine Hertzler. These photographs show both sides of the house in 1943. Pennsylvanian Daniel Hertzler was well known for establishing the first private bank in Clark County. The house was built in 1854 with a Bank style influence. It was unique for many reasons, including the kitchen, which was attached to the main living quarters despite the ever-present risk of fire. Murdered in the house in 1867, the mystery surrounding Daniel Hertzler's death remains unsolved. Today, the house is operated as a museum by the Hertzler House Advisory Committee. Both photographs measure approximately 4 by 3 inches (10.16 by 7.62 cm). View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The history of this quilt is unknown but its style and construction give clues to its age and purpose. Its importance comes not only from its exquisite workmanship of quilting but it is also an example of adaptive re-use of garments. This quilt was originally a quilted petticoat that would have been worn under a skirt. At the time the petticoat was made, the overskirt was often fashioned to reveal the petticoat. Later the petticoat side seams were undone and the pieces resewn to each other at the hem line. In looking at the piece the waistline seems to be at the top and bottom of the quilt. The quilting pattern has concentric circles throughout the upper portion and fantastic animals of artistic creation, deer, lions, birds/chicken and flowers and vines in the bottom portion. The top is a solid tan (grayish-green) wool fabric and the back has wool fabrics in three different blue and natural stripes, later patched with solid tan wool. The light brown binding is only on the two sides; the top and bottom have no binding (formerly the waist), but one piece has a soft wool strip attached. The batting is wool. Quilting is done in parallel lines throughout. The size is 120cm x 172cm (47 x 67 ½ inches). View on Ohio Memory.
