Ralph. Here is a picture of
my fathers blacksmith shop in the late 1920's . The one at the first anvil
is my father Claude then the first man standing in the group of three is my
Grandfather Charles Edward Osborn the others are employees.
The second picture is of our plant built in 1954 and the third is the cover of
our sales catalog. When I and my two of my brothers returned
from W.W.II in 1946 we started the new business, C. D. Osborn & Co.
where we manufactured Materials Handling Equip. incorporating my father old
business into the new one.
We sold the business in 1992 after I retired from 50 years of working there.
