Ohio Farmer Bags
Description: Lawson’s Dairy Stores began in 1939 when J.J. Lawson opened a retail counter at his Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio milk company to sell milk by the gallon. Since most milk came in quart bottles, his wider-mouthed jug with a wire handle let customers carry one bottle instead of four, saving money and driving sales. Lawson soon opened his first store, offering his dairy products along with a range of food and staples—an early version of today’s convenience store. Within a year, he had ten locations; by 1943, twice that. By 1959, the chain had grown to over 700 stores when Consolidated Foods bought it. The stores kept the Lawson’s name until a rebrand in the mid-1980s changed it to Dairy Mart.
Description: Cockshutt was based in Brantford, Ontario, Canada and was finally able to enter the U.S. market by signing an agreement with the Bellevue, Ohio based National Farm Machinery Co-operative (NFMC) in 1945. This deal had NFMC acting as their exclusive dealer network in the states which brought Cockshutt's innovative line of tractors and equipment south of the border where they quickly became popular with American farmers throughout the midwest. This design features a farmer operating his top-line 1953 Model 50 tractor.

Description: The Cleveland Tractor Company, also known as Cletrac, was a manufacturer of crawler tractors for both civilian and military use, particularly popular during World War II. The company was founded as the Cleveland Motor Plow Co., later renamed Cleveland Tractor Co., by Rollin H. White, co-founder of the White Motor Company. They were known for their heavy-duty Cletrac crawler tractors, which were used for various applications, including farm work, public works projects, and military operations. In 1944, Cleveland Tractor Company was purchased by the Oliver Farm Equipment Company, which later changed its name to the Oliver Corporation. In 1962, White Motor Corp. purchased Oliver and moved the operation to Charles City, Iowa.
