Description: This photograph is a close up of the production of a DeVilbiss Duster. The DeVilbiss Corporation was founded in 1888 by Dr. Allen DeVilbiss, who invented the first medical atomizer. It was so successful, that by 1890 he retired from medical practice and created the DeVilbiss Manufacturing Corporation, purchasing the Lenk Winery building in which to begin production. DeVilbiss’s sons were also inventors, and Thomas developed the first spray gun and perfumizers, which were added to the production line. The business began to grow further during the 1920’s when they expanded in the automobile and furniture industries, manufacturing paint and laquer coating machines for assembly line production. In 1938, Willard Pollard and Harold Roselund designed the first programmable robotic paint-spraying mechanism. The company continued to grow during World War II, making military products from helmets to airplanes and tanks with protective coatings. As the company grew, it merged several times, with subsidiaries ranging from metal fabricators to healthcare. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph of a portrait of Richard M. Bishop (1812-1893), Ohio's governor from 1878-1880. Bishop's term as governor was relatively uneventful. The state legislature passed the Bland-Allison Act, which allowed for the coinage of silver, as well as passing laws that punished election bribery and blackmail. Democrats were not entirely satisfied with Bishop's administration though, because they believed that his sons had too much influence on political appointments that were made during his terms. As a result, the party chose Thomas Ewing, Jr., instead of Bishop, as its candidate in the 1879 elections. 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.
