Yes The Lace Company was on Taylor Street on the south side just past The General Industries on the north side. It went out of business around circa 1956. The reason it went out of business was the Eisenhower administration decided the Lace industry wasn't important. They tool off the protective tariff . Belgium Lace could be imported for less money than American Industry could make it for. The reason was tin Belgium it was a cottage industry. some of the lace machines were sold to Argentina and some were broken up by the Hyman Salvage company and sold for scrap metal. The reason I know all this is my father-in-law was a lacemaker and worked there. ----- Original Message ----- From: jennifer pluta <mrs_pud@yahoo.com> To: <OHLORAIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 11:33 PM Subject: Re: [OHLORAIN] Elyria Lace > > I know my husband's grandmother worked there also.
