Stuart Co,. a conglomerate of nursery products, home products, china, silverware and eventually their jewelry division, Sarah Coventry Inc.
In 1903, two young men, R.A.S. and C.T. Bloomer founded the Bloomer Bros. Paper Co., producing parerboard for such uses as egg cartons and ice cream containers. Their company was known and respected the world over, as they designed and manufactured their own machinery.
