W.T. and S.D. Day Co.
In 1845, brother William and Samuel Day start producing wood type in Fredericksburg, OH. They struggled with a long strike in 1855, and moved production after the strike to the Ohio State Penitentiary in Columbus. The name changed to W.T., J.R., and S.D. Day Co. In 1857, a fire at the prison destroyed the equipment, halting production. It resumes a year later under the old name after the brothers bought a press manufacturing plant in Cincinnati, J.D. Foster and Co. It's all in vain, because they close shop in 1862. |
