Description
An account of the resource
This image of the Ohio Salt Company in the first part of the 1930s, adds not only to the plethora of industry and other businesses that were present in Wayne County during the early portion of the twentieth century, but also shows the magnitude that a Wayne County business can reach. The Ohio Salt Company would become Morton Salt known as Morton salt in the mid-twentieth century. The Ohio Salt Company shed light on the natural resources that were present in Wayne County, with salt deposits surrounding Rittman and other portions of Wayne County. Finding these salt deposits during the 1930s would help Wayne County recover from the Great Depression that the United States, and the rest of the world, was experiencing. The booming businesses and factories that were forming around the United States would struggle during this time because the demand was lessened following the war and people simply had less money to spend. The Ohio Salt Company would continue to perceiver, changing its name in 1948 to Morton Salt Company.
