| | Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 25 | Title: | Cleveland Stock Exchange Records
| | | | Creator: | Cleveland Stock Exchange | | | | Dates: | 1900-1949 | | | | Abstract: | The Cleveland Stock Exchange was organized in 1899 by Cleveland, Ohio, financiers Herbert Wright, W.H. Lamprecht, and R. H. York, and began operations on April 16, 1900. After the crash of 1929, the market never regained its pre-Depression value, and after fluctuating throughout World War II, it reached a post-crash high in 1946. In the late 1930s the exchange, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, sold odd lots and unlisted securities, and permitted incorporatd brokerages to purchase seats which had previously only been sold to individual brokers. The Cleveland Bourse, as it was commonly known, offered stocks and bonds primarily from local corporations engaged in manufacturing, refining and the rubber industry. Many of the men on the Exchange served in World War II, allowing women to assume responsibility as board markers, chief clerk, and traders. After a decline in yearly activity and the improvement of communications technology, the Cleveland Stock Exchange was replaced by the Chicago-based Midwest Stock Exchange on December 1, 1948. Thereafter, trading was moved to the Midwest's main floor in Chicago while a branch office was maintained in Cleveland until 1966. The collection consists of annual reports, daily sales registers, account ledgers, dividend records, and scrapbooks. The dividend records of corporations participating in the Exchange include Eaton Manufacturing Company, Dow Chemical Company, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, General Tire and Rubber Company, Glidden Company, Halle Brothers Company, Otis Steel Company, Packer Corporation, Peerless Motor Car Corporation, Standard Oil of Ohio (and New Jersey), Stouffer Corporation, Thompson Products Incorporated, Timken Roller Bearing Company, United States Steel Corporation, Vlchek Tool Company, and White Motor Company. | | | | Call #: | MS 4731 | | | | Extent: | 1.40 linear feet (3 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Cleveland (Ohio).

| | | | Creator: | Greater Cleveland Growth Association | | | | Dates: | 1881-1972 | | | | Abstract: | The Greater Cleveland Growth Association was founded in 1848 as the Board of Trade in Cleveland, Ohio. It was reorganized and renamed the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce in 1893. It merged with the Greater Cleveland Growth Board in 1968 to form the Greater Cleveland Growth Association. Its goals have always been to provide a forum for business leaders to discuss ideas and problems, to stimulate investments in the local economy, and to make Cleveland a better place to live and work.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 37 | Title: | New York Central Railroad Records
| | | | Creator: | New York Central Railroad | | | | Dates: | 1880-1957 | | | | Abstract: | The New York Central Railroad first stationed business representatives in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1853, but it was not until 1870 that the railroad established a significant presence in the local railroad economy. During the 1880s-1890s, the New York Central purchased controlling interests in various railroads to secure routes into Cleveland. In the early twentieth century it built and bought lines through and around Cleveland. Yards that were key to New York Central's repair, maintenance, and storage operations in the Cleveland area included Collinwood, Linndale, and Union Depot. In 1921, the New York Central participated in financing of Cleveland Union Terminal on Public Square and eventually established a yard on that site. By 1929, the railroad had 9,963 employees in the Cleveland area, and had established one of two national offices in Cleveland. During the Depression, many yardworkers were laid off, and labor organizations had units within the yards. Many employees served in World War II, a time of unprecedented passenger and freight activity. In the 1950s-1960s, passenger traffic and freight activity declined. In 1975, the remnants of the New York Central and other railroads were consolidated under the name Conrail. The collection consists of index cards containing the work history, education level, address, birth date, and occasionally, race of the yard workers employed by the New York Central Railroad and its predecessors in northeast Ohio from approximately 1880-1957. | | | | Call #: | MS 4729 | | | | Extent: | 4.50 linear feet (5 containers) | | | | Subjects: | New York Central Railroad Company. | New York Central Railroad Company -- Employees. | Railroad companies -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Railroads -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Yards. | Railroads -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Employees. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Commerce.
