Named in the 1905 county history

The history of Butler County was published 18 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The early history of manufacturing in Hamilton is closely identified with the building of the hydraulic system, which is described elsewhere in this volume. The city has been peculiarly fortunate in the possession of unexcelled facilities for the promotion of manufacturing and industrial enterprises, which have more than anything else contributed to her growth and prosperity. Referring to the hydraulic, the establishments which, in 1852, were located upon the hydraulic are here given, in the order of their position, beginning at the upper level : Miller, Campbell & Company's sawmill, Owens, Lane & Dyer Machine Company, the cotton factory built by William Bebb and L. D. Campbell, the Miami Paper Mill, established by William Beckett and F. D.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Butler County, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
