Business Biography The Bauer Manufacturing Company was established in 1916 when Thomas E. Steiner found out about a new type of patented ladder being made in Cleveland that had become extremely popular with painters and contractors installing house siding.

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. next to the Gerstenslager Company. At the new facility in Wooster J. E. Weiser became the manager. J. K. Halderman and Harold G. Arnold joined the company in the mid-1930s.
