CLOTHING PRESS IRON # 2 - RAVENNA, OH7" X 3 1/4"4.8 lbs BEFORE PACKINGSOME HISTORY ON THE COMPANYA.C. Williams visited many towns and cities in northeastern Ohio and finally selected Ravenna. Until his death, he felt he had made no mistake as he was delighted with the town and its people. His business and the city of Ravenna grew and prospered. Erection of the plant was started in mid-winter, 1892-1893. The panic of September, 1893 struck the country and it was necessary to shut the plant down for several months. On resuming operation, Mr. Williams found the demand for sad irons diminishing and realized that a change of product was necessary. He finished up some sad irons by nickel plating and also produced some small models for his traveling salesmen. These small irons, a convenience for the salesmen, were the start of the toy business for The A.C. Williams Company. CHECK OUT MY OTHER PRIMITIVE / ANTIQUE ITEMS
