1968 Ad for The F.H. Lawson Company, Cincinnati Ohio
I edited the ad a little, but the original is in
Drive In & Carry Out Magazine, Feb 1970.
Darren did a little research and found the following :
F.H. Lawson Co., Cincinnati, produced metal trash cans and garbage
pails. The company was founded in 1816 and had a successful run for
several decades. However, it became burdened by financial difficulties
that were precipitated by a leveraged buyout in the 1970s, and F.H.
Lawson Co. finally ceased operations in early 1988. The Witt Co.,
Cincinnati, whose founding family had known the Lawson family for many
years, purchased the remaining assets of the business later that year.
“When it came to metal receptacles, the F.H. Lawson company was the
biggest,” says Ramaley. “When plastic receptacles were first introduced
by Rubbermaid and Continental, that made business very tough for F.H.
Lawson. It used to be that the good garbage cans were all galvanized
steel, and that was their specialty.”
Thanks Darren !!!
