Description: Map of Ohio showing the location and distribution of 348 Ohio potteries of the 19th century, prepared by the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society and drawn by C.E. Hamm. Towns are marked with circles corresponding in size to the number of potteries they have, and potteries whose products are represented in the museum collections of the Ohio State Archaelogical and Historical Society (now the Ohio History Connection) are indicated by name. The largest concentrations of potteries can be seen in the areas of Akron, East Liverpool, Zanesville/Roseville and Cincinnati, all of which had thriving pottery manufacturing industries thanks to Ohio's high rank in the supply and production of clay.

Description: Panoramic watercolor rendering of the exterior of a pottery factory. Based on the intertwined "MTC" design seen on the large building at left, it has been identified as the Mosaic Tile Company factory that was located in Zanesville, Ohio. The artist, whose signature is seen on the lower right, is tentatively identified as Andrew Loomis (1892-1959), an American illustrator who grew up in Zanesville. His father, Newell E. Loomis, appears to have been employed by the Mosaic Tile Company, and served as secretary beginning in 1917 and general manager beginning in 1923. The Mosaic Tile Company was incorporated in Zanesville in1894, and variously produced floor tiles of different types, wall and trim tile, artistic tile murals and faience tile. The company operated until 1967. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph showing Ohio Governor James A. Rhodes visiting with constituents at Scio Pottery in Scio, Ohio, October 1976. Scio Pottery Co. was a pottery manufacturer started in 1933 by Lewis P. Reese. The company at one point employed around 1,300 people--double the population of the small village of Scio at that time. The pottery closed in 1985 due to foreign competition. Rhodes was born on September 13, 1909, in Coalton, Ohio. He began his political career by winning election to the school board of Columbus, Ohio, in 1937, then serving as Columbus city auditor. In 1943, he was elected mayor of Columbus, an office he held from 1944 until 1952. Rhodes served as Ohio Auditor from 1952 until 1962, when he won election to his first term as Ohio governor. During his four terms as governor (1962-1970 and 1974-1982), Rhodes oversaw the building of airports, state office buildings, prisons, community colleges, museums and other public structures. He is also notable as the governor who ordered Ohio National Guard troops to Kent State University during a series of student protests against the Vietnam War. On May 4, 1970, the guardsmen fired into a crowd of protestors, killing four and injuring nine. Rhodes retired from politics following an unsuccessful run for a fifth term in 1986, and died March 4, 2001. View on Ohio Memory.
