q 13it Of Industrial history


F.fty-two years ago Canton was
looked upon as a finished town. There
being no railroads, all the heavy
trade of the country went to Massi!-
Ion. We had but few thousand peo-
pie and grass grew quite. freely on
some Of the most prominent streets;
in 1851 when it was definitely
settled that the Ohio and Pennsylva-
mia railroad should te built from
Pittsburg to, Crestline; after that the hee
road was consolidated with the OliP
and Indiana road which run from
Crestline wea., and the whole line
called the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne &
Chicago railroad. Under the control
of the Pennsylvania system OF raj
roads which has operated the road on
a 90 year lease. .a,r
After this railroad matter was fully
settled Mr.. Ball and Mr.. Au.tman
came Uo Canton from Greentown,
eight miles north. whsre they had
in a small way begun to make plows
! and few agricultural machines but
they soon found out that they could
not compete with Massillon firms and
others that were on transport alton
lines, while Greentown was quite a
distance Oft, and no prospect CT ge.-
ting any thing In that way. Mr.. Ball
and Mr.. Aultman came to Canton hat
year and selected three town lots on
the line of the new railroad, bsdng q
part OF the present large plant Known
as the Aultman works after which
they returned to Greantown and re-
ported to Lewis and Jacob Miller an.
George Cook what they had done, ant
they unanimously decided 10 move 't
Canton. which they did very soor
thereafter.
In Greentown, Ephriam Ball was the
original founder of that plant. after
which the others above named came
in. The firm was known by variou:
names. 81.
When they came to Canton the,
formed a new company. each part
ner putting in what he could ant
sharing tho profits according to Iii
money invested. Lewis Miller put II
$1,000, Jacob Miller had been far
mer and could put In but little. an
George Cook put iu $1.500. The tota
capital Of the company when the,
started In Canton was $4,000. Th'
firm thus formed was called Ball
Aultman & Company. They at ono
erected q two-story bricBl building
consisting of wood shop 4Ox55. fin
ishing shop 40x6O and moulding
shop one story high 40x40 feet. Ii
December 1851. they brought thei
tools and fixtures from Greentown an,
began work in the building described

that year they formed the acquaint
ance of Thomas r. Tonner who YER
soon became interested with the Bal
Aultman- & company firm. He had n
money but good business talent an
an honest purpose Of heart SO tina
he soon proved a very valuable ma
to the firm. In 1867 came on the grea
national panic, which swept many Q
! the largest manufacturers and bus
moss men into bankruptcy. In 1876
James 8. Tonner became bookkeeps

G. Aultman and Lewis Miller
thought they could greatly improve,
and got up a new machine, a two.
wheeled, rear cut implement, anil in
June, 1856 took out a patent on it, an
as his machine allowed the fingr
bar to he raised and folded thus grGa-
ly improving it for transporta-
ton. Only one of these rear-cut Ha-
chimes was made and in the fail CT
1856 was changed to a FROM cut, which
was considered a great improvement
and was thus continued. For tho har-
vest Of 1857. 1000 Ohio mowers aad x
or seven of the new Buckeye, one
threshing machine and fifty Husse
reapers were made. The Ohio and
Buckeye machines were quite tho.-
oughly tested that year side by side,
and the Buckeye appeared no carr
off the prize.
In 1858 e Ball sold his interest to
the firm and put up his own builiins :
that same year (Which is now tie
McLain works. and in 1859 put in the
market the Ohio mower in competit on
with the Buckeye, thus continuing un.
( til 1865.
After E. Ball retired from the FIRM
Of Ball, Aultman & company, the o,d
! firm adopted the name OF G. Au.tma n
& company, under which name they
built up great and prosperous bu;i,
ness.
| In 1853 c. Aultman G. company
turned out 1.S00 Buckeye mowers and
reapers and $50 threshing machines
and ,hat was the year of the kill g
frost is the cary part of jun. Al
J the wheat Throughout It this region w S
killed, but they foni a market fer
their machines is more distant fields
where fros1 had net done the harm
it did here.
The Buckeye machine continued to
grow in favor so that in 1868 they
made $500 mowers and reapers, and
about 400 threshing machines. They
rapidly grew and greatly added tc
their buildings and finally concluded
that with our one railroad at that
time (the Pittsburg, Fo-t Wayne &
Chicago) they could not greatly n.
crease their busin IS and then decided
to have Lewis Miller go to Akron and
build a new plant, which was d5ne
Our loss at thall time was certainly
Akron's gain. In 1864 Lewis Miller
moved to Akron and during that yeal
the firm built quite literally in Can.
ton and Akron. About the same tim,
we lost another industry that doubtless
would have remained in Canton II WI
had had the railroad facilities We hay,
now. This was the Aultmsn, Tay-o o.
q company's works which buiI

The late Michael d. Harter, also from
Canton was the prime business mana

and Christian principles Of Lhe first
founders OF the firm they were enabled
to tide over the panic OF 1851
For several yeaIs p .evious to this
time the firm had arranEed with
number of our business houses to take
their orders for merchandise to pay
their hands, and then set lie up with
the merchants by giving the notes OF
Ball, A,iltman & Company, payable in
four to six months time in bank.
we'll remember haying a, number of
such notes from them as Iwas then in
the mercantile business. Most of the
leading stores of those days thus
helped the pioneer manufacturers to
tide over their payments and still keep
running.
About this time the Kechum ma
chine was. meeting with considerab e
success and Ephriam Ball, c. Aultmsn
ash Lewis Miller were appointed a
committee to get up an improved
mower. Mr.. Ball was a pattern max
er by trade and made the patterns all
putting their heads together. After
much study the same year they con-
structed a mower. but after testing It,,
! they found 1t to be failure. They
were not to be discouraged and finally
brought an improved one-wheel ma
chine which was more sat.sfac y.
They proceeded to build eight of there
machines in 1853, but upon actual te t
they found the machine was weak in
several points and all broke very soon
of the company became Encouraged
but c. Aultman said "T.y again"
The harvest of 1853 was hen OF r.
c. Aultman then got Up Craving
! for two-wheeled machine VIII ch was
the first effort to get up such ma
chine. After the drawing had b2en
submitted to e. Ball and Lewis Miller
some changes and notifications were
suggested, and finally resul ed in tie
first introduction of what was well
known as the Ohio mower and the
first completed machine of this kind
was turned out In 1854 and very soon
application was made for patents for
it. bat in ihe patent Office they run
against similar machine patented d
short time before by a man by the
name of Iaines, OF Pekin, H., and as
he could prove priority of risht, Mr.
Aultman went out TO Illinois and
bought Of Mr.. Haines the right Ec
manufacture in Ohio and in the sprir G
of 1856. Ball, Aultman & company
started to make twenty five OF theil
new mowers, but on May 5 of that
/, year lire destroyed their buildings and
contents. AS they had struggled s.
!. hard to get to the point then occu

unexpected disaster robbed them O
