| Abstract: | The C. O. Bartlett & Co. was a Cleveland, Ohio, company which sold heavy machinery and manufactured power transmission equipment, boilers, conveying and elevating equipment, and special products, including machinery to process oatmeal. In 1961 the company was sold to Pacific Foundry and Metallurgy, becoming Bartlett-Snow Pacific, Inc., and was later merged into Bangor Punta of Greenwich, Conn. The collection consists of two company histories, a detailed order record book, 1915-1927, and a daily order book, 1917-1927. The collection is useful for the study of the heavy machinery business in Cleveland and their customers' orders, which included sales to such firms as Chevrolet Motor Company, Goodyear, U.S. Aluminum, M.A. Hanna Company, Proctor and Gamble, General Electric, Penzoil, Standard Oil of Ohio and others. | |
