The automotive parts companies (mufflers, radios, other parts) in the Ohio/Indiana/Kentucky region were some of its major customers. My first three "summer jobs" were in its manufacturing plant, in which they operated their own "corrugating machine," which took wide rolls, over 1,000 lbs each, of Kraft paper and converted the rolls into corrugated sheets of different "weights" and layers, from which the finished products were eventually fabricated. In order to work in the factory, I had to join the then "International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulfite and Paper Mill Workers Union." There were as many "female" brothers in the factory as were male brothers.

I did a blog post once on Theda Bera (born Theodosia Goodman) the famous silent film actress who was originally from Avondale and attended Walnut Hills and UC. Here's her wikipedia entry:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theda_Bara<br /><br />Since my original blog post, it appears that her home has been demolished. I still have a link to it on my blog though. It makes me sad that is was destroyed without any knowledge of who previously inhabited it. <br /><br />http://www.dimestorefloozy.net/search?updated-max=2010-11-14T14:25:00-08:00&max-results=7Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367269482136619821noreply@blogger.com
