2 HUGE INDUSTRIAL ART 1925 PHOTOGRAPHS-CHAMPION PAPER, hamilton, ohio-$41
The history of Champion Paper in Hamilton, Ohio goes way back to 1893. It was a major player back in the days when Hamilton was an industrial center, home to not only Champion but iron foundries, stove makers and all the various support industries they required. Champion even had a “Company Store,” but it closed in 1934.
You can read ‘til your heart’s content about Champion on the Net, but right now we’re only concerned with August 21, 1925. That is the day they opened their new office building on North B Street, and anyone visiting these new offices would have seen these two pieces hanging in the lobby and along the hallway.
