#FlashbackFriday with the Historical Society: Whitewater Manufacturing Co.

It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society.

The last of our mid-20th century images of Whitewater businesses is this 1955 view of the Whitewater Manufacturing Company, at that time located on North Jefferson Street. This company was incorporated in 1943 and moved to this location in 1945. Over the years, the company expanded their operations as a foundry and machine shop. In 1962, the company had 150 employees making items primarily for the automobile and agricultural equipment industries.

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
