The possibility of a securing a big contract in 1899 to print salt bags for a very large salt company likely spurred George Clapper to buy the property in 1901<ref>Wooster Weekly Republican, 1899-JUN-28 p.3</ref>. The name CLAPPER is still visible on the top of the brick building and references the time period between 1904-1922 when businessman George A. Clapper and his wife Huldah operated the Clapper Printing & Bag Co. out of the building. After their deaths in 1922 and 1920 respectively, their daughter, Vera Clapper inherited the property. Vera Clapper sold one-half interest in the property to Daisy Mae Derr when the business became [[Derr Printing Co.]] These two women held the property until 1943. The [[Imhoff & Long Co]] operated at this location for a number of years.
