The Hinde & Dauch Paper Company was an international paper-making company that was based in Sandusky, Ohio, United States. The firm was founded as Sandusky Paper Company by W. J. Bonn in 1880.[1]
Two developers of a hay-baling process, James J. Hinde and Jacob J. Dauch, later purchased the company.[2] It was ultimately acquired by the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company.[3]
According to the Sandusky Register in 2009:
In 1910, the Register reported that Hinde and Dauch employed 800 people in various factories in the United States and Canada, including 350 in Sandusky. In the company's heyday, Sandusky residents could smell the prosperity the company produced. "It smelled up the whole town. It made you sick to your stomach in the 1940s," said Janet Senne, president of the Erie County Historical Society. Her husband, Donald Senne, explained that his father, Alfred J. Senne, worked in the electrical department at the plant. During the 1920s and the 1930s, "it was the biggest employer in town," Donald Senne said.[3]
Three separate sites of the company are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. To see locations in map or birdseye photo views, click on "Map of all coordinates".
