Records of Strunz and Son Soap Company, 1861-1918
University of Pittsburgh Digital Library
The S. Strunz and Son company records are seven volumes of business records about the Strunz soap manufacturing business which date from 1861 to 1918. There is also one letterbook with business correspondence written by F.B. Strunz on behalf of the National Wrapping Machine Company, later called The Standard Wrapping Machine Company. All of this material is stored on three reels of microfilm. The S. Strunz and Son ledger books contain information about inventory, expenses and customer accounts, and a few examples of business correspondence and product packaging. Each book is between 200 and 800 pages long. The Standard Wrapping Machine Company letterbook contains copies of company correspondence from 1884 to 1913. Most of the letters are signed by Secretary and Treasurer F.B. Strunz around 1892. The majority of the handwriting is blurred and very difficult to read.
