	Abstract:	The Winton Motor Carriage Company was founded in 1897 by Cleveland, Ohio, bicycle manufacturer Alexander Winton. A factory at the corner of Belden and Mason streets was established. A new factory complex at 10601 Berea Road and a sales office and garage at 1228 Huron Road was built in 1902. New models included delivery vehicles and a racing car. The company was reorganized in 1915 as the Winton Motor Car Company, and produced 2,450 vehicles the following year.

The collection consists of a stereographic viewer containing stereographic photographs on a roll of the Winton Motor Carriage Company factory, Cleveland, Ohio. Also includes 81 black and white slide transparencies which are duplicates of the stereographic roll photographs.

	Abstract:	Curtis Industries, Inc. was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1932 by William Abrams and two of his sons, Morris and Howard, as Clipper Key and Lock Co. The company initially sold several brands of key cutting machines throughout the Cleveland area and the Midwest. In 1934, the Abrams worked together with inventor William Curtis to invent a new key cutting machine that they could manufacture and distribute themselves.

However, during World War II, the company concentrated solely on defense work and ceased to manufacture of keys and key machines. Following the war, the company changed its name to Curtis Industries, Inc. and resumed its work on key machines and key blanks. The company also began manufacturing and selling automotive and farm equipment replacement parts. In 1961, Curtis Industries built a large facility in Eastlake, Ohio. Previously, Curtis had operated sites on Carnegie Avenue, Prospect Avenue, and East 222nd Street in Cleveland. The new building in Eastlake consolidated all of Curtis's branches and various operations. The new site was considered state-of-the-art and garnered much publicity. In 1961, the Cleveland Chapter of the American Materials Handling Society recognized Curtis with is award for the best materials handling system in Northeast Ohio. The collection consists of approximately 150 black and white photographs depicting employees, machinery, and buildings at various Curtis Industries sites.
