Hi Joel, you wrote: >I'm looking for information on the Indiana Paper Company as it existed >about 1918. I show four brothers as follow,per their Draft Registration >information... <snip> Have you had any response to this request? There are numerous references to the Ostermeyers and the Indiana Paper Company. Here is a partial excerpt from, THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1911. NEW REALTY RECORD SET __________ SITE BRINGS $8,250 A FOOT __________ Consideration for property at 10 West Washington Street has not been equaled, Real Estate Men Say -- Deals Involve $253,125. _________ Mrs. Amanda M. Wasson has pur- chased from the Frederich Ostermeyer estate the property at 10 West Washing- ton street.........<snip>.... Frederich Ostermeyer died about ten years ago. According to the terms of his will the five pieces of perperty he left were not to be sold for ten years, the in- come to be divided among the heirs until the sale was effected. The heirs are Mrs Bissette Reger, Mrs. Elanora Meyer, Mrs. Emelie Buddenbaum, Mrs. Laura Koelling, Mrs. Gertrude Wy- song, Mrs. Lillie Schwier, all of Indian- apolis; Mrs. Emma Seuel of St. Louis and Misses Lottie and Edna Ostermeyer, Fred J., Harry E., Elmer H., and Alvin C. Os- termeyer, all of Indianapolis. _____________ Also in THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR, MONDAY, MAY 7, 1917. PAPER TOWELS ECONOMICAL. _____________ Accurate tests show, according to Fred J. Ostermeyer, president of the Indiana Paper Company, 27-29 East Maryland street, that paper towels of the better grade cost as an average only half as much as the service incident to fabric towels. Mr. Ostermeyer's company is the Indiana distributor of Public Service paper towels, which are in very general use. One point to recommend the Pub- lic Service towel is the wall container, a cabinet of fine finish and pleasing design, which feeds the towels in lengths suffi- cient for ordinary use. The container not only enforces economy, but is a sightly piece of furniture besides. The exposed paper towel roll is unsightly and unsan- itary, and presents a constant invitation to wasteful persons to take much more paper than is necessary to dry their hands or face. ________________ - Ed
