| The Bauer Manufacturing Company was established in 1916 when Thomas E. [[Steiner surname)|Steiner]] found out about a new type of patented ladder being made in [[Cleveland, Ohio]] that had become extremely popular with painters and contractors installing house siding. He gathered a group of people to help invest in and form a new company to manufacture this ladder and named the company after the inventor of this type of ladder and The Bauer Manufacturing Company was born. | | The Bauer Manufacturing Company was established in 1916 when Thomas E.

− | The first business and manufacturing facility was located in [[Marshallville, Ohio]]. The whole company was moved to [[Wooster, Ohio]] in 1920 after the [[Wooster Board of Trade]] contacted Steiner about the availability of the old [[Fortune Tool Company]] building on [[E. Bowman St., Wooster, Ohio|E. Bowman St.]] next to the [[Gerstenslager Company, The]]. At the new facility in Wooster J. E. [[Weiser (surname)|Weiser]] became the manager. J. K. [[Halderman (surname)|Halderman]] and Harold G. [[Arnold (surname)|Arnold]] joined the company in the mid-1930s. As both the Gerstenslager and Bauer ladder companies grew it soon became necessary for each to obtain additional manufacturing space. The Gerstenslager Company purchased the Bauer Manufacturing Company plant on [[E. Bowman St., Wooster, Ohio|E.
