==Comprehensive history==
==Comprehensive history==
In May 1920, five individuals pooled their resources to rent a building in Wooster and start The Wooster Rubber Company, manufacturing Sunshine Brand toy balloons. Six years later, Horatio Ebert and Errett Grable purchased the company as a personal investment, hiring Clyde Gault (one of the founders) to continue to manage the company for them. Though a new factory and office building were built soon after, the Depression led to plummeting sales. However, Ebert became interested in the rubber housewares products being sold in New England by James Caldwell under the name "Rubbermaid" and arranged to combine their businesses in July 1934<ref>"70 Years: from balloons to billions," Rubbermaid Review, March 1990, p.1</ref>.
