Paper Products

In 1932 at age 25, Omer Oakie Smith began what was to become Paper Products Company in the basement of his parents house. He hand made white lined corrugated cake circles for the bakers in Cincinnati by using his mom's flour and water to make the paste to glue white shelf paper to brown corrugated board. He cut them out with used razor blades from a barber shop and tapped them out with automobile valves. This was the Great Depression Era! He had an idea and $100 working capital.
