 Creator:  Consumers League of Ohio 
 Dates:  1925-1994 
 Abstract:  The Consumers League of Ohio was founded in 1900 as part of a social justice movement of the late nineteenth century which resulted in the formation of many consumer leagues. The Consumer's League of Ohio, founded only one year after the National Consumers League, began in April 1900. Bell Sherwin (daughter of one of the men who founded the Sherwin-Williams company) helped set the Ohio league in motion and served as the first president of the organization. The Consumers League of Ohio was initially run out of the Goodrich House and dedicated its efforts to the improvement of working conditions for women and children employed in factories and retail establishments. The collection consists of agendas, agreements, brochures, by-laws, charts, constitutions, correspondence, court documents, financial information, flyers, forms, journal articles, legislation, lists, magazine articles, memoranda, minutes, newsletters, newspaper articles, newspaper clippings, notes, press releases, programs, questionnaires, reports, resolutions, speeches, statements, and testimony.
