was of special interest to me, and I believe I hold some information to add to that story. Most people may wonder why the Gypsum Canning Co. which was the predecessor to the Silver Fleece Co. was given the name of Gypsum Canning and I happen to know from past incidents told to me by my parents, that the Gypsum Canning Co. was moved to Port Clinton from Gypsum.

The original Gypsum Canning Co. was located immediately back of what was once the Island and Gypsum Fruit Co. on North Railroad St. here or immediately west of the former fruit packing company. The Island and Gypsum Fruit Co.

which became a defunct fruit growers association had been in existence during the past century here until several years ago when many of the growers associated themselves with the Danbury Fruit Co. The building was then used as a warehouse for storing of U.S. Gypsum Co. products. A fire of unknown origin destroyed the building a few years ago.

A similiar fate had occurred to the defunct Gypsum and Catawba Fruit Growers Co. building on the east side of Lake St. This building also had been standing idle due to the up coming era of fruit-side stands. During the latter part of the century and the earlier part of this one, fruit growers brought their fruit to Gypsum to be either auctioned at an auction block here as at the turn of the century, then latter purchased outright by representatives of various companies. This fruit was sent by refrigerated cars via New York Central to far away points as Atlanta, Georgia, St.

Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis and to eastern markets. Names known locally of buyers, were the Kroger and A and Companies. We know because we worked for a number of years in offices of both companies, and at one time for both local fruit companies at the same time, doing work by day at one, and secretarial work at the other evenings. Sandusky Business College furnished placements for both bookkeeping and secretarial work. But back to the Gypsum Canning Co.

while we wish we had attempted to remember more, we know that my father, the late Fred W. Voss was floor manager for the Gypsum Canning Co. We also know he mentioned Lawrence Satterfield as manager of the factory when it was located in Gypsum. We remember Mr. Satterfield from our Port Clinton Herald days when he came in with instructions for printing of labels for the various products processed at the Gypsum Canning Co.

in Port Clinton, which was much later than the days my father talked about. In going through a resume my father prepared and handed me in April of 1956 four days before he suffered a heart block, so that we did not have the opportunity to ask some unanswered questions, we note that his employment at the canning company and other local plants is not mentioned. However, this proved interesting to me in attempting to find a little more information; "I started to work in 1890 for 25 cents a day, then 40 cents, (his age was then 12) then for Molitor (Marblehead) at 50 cents a day. When, or as I grew older, I got 75 cents a day, and finally my brother (who was 3 years younger) and I started even in our teens yet, to get mans wages, 10 cents an hour." My father later as a resident of Gypsum also wrote the Gypsum column.This he did for the Kuesthardt's at a time when it was known as the Ottawa County Zeitung (later Ottawa Co. News).

Martha Kuesthardt who is now a resident of the Riverview Nursing Home at Oak Harbor after many years in Georgia, wrote us a nice note upon my father's death in 1957 we recall concerning my father. Perhaps, Martha or the Satterfield family could even help to preserve some of the history of a company that has meant much to Port Clinton and area as well as through out the U.S. in providing local products and could shed a little more light on the company's early history.

The Muehlings converted their home to baseboard electric heat a few years ago. They think it's great.

"Electric heat is always even, no matter how coid it gets outside," says Mrs. Muehling. "There are no drafts. It's so comfortable that we just take if for granted." "There's no maintenance at all." adds Mr. Muehling.

"We set the thermostat and forget it." Baseboard electric heating has no moving parts to wear or repair. And there's a heating source with a thermostat in every room. "That's very good because we can keep the bedrooms cooler than the rest of the house." Mrs. Muehling likes the cleanliness of flameless heating: "There's hardly any dusting to do. There's no flame, no noise, just nothing to worry about." "We're saving money with electric heat," Mr.

Muehling continues. "We pay a total electric bill of $33 a month for heating, cooking, everything. When we had butane gas, we paid as high as $46 just for the heat." What will electric heat cost you? There's only one way to know for sure call Ohio Edison's heating specialist or your electric heating dealer for a free cost estimate. He can describe the many kinds of electric heat: baseboard, boiler, furnace, heat pump, or ceiling cable. If you want to see an actual installation and talk to the owner, he can arrange that too.
