Series 4: Photographic Reference Material
Provenance:
Meat is a portion of the Business Ephemera Series of the Warshaw Collection of Business Americana, Accession AC0060 purchased from Isadore Warshaw in 1967. Warshaw continued to accumulate similar material until his death, which was donated in 1971 by his widow, Augusta. For a period after acquisition, related materials from other sources (of mixed provenance) were added to the collection so there may be content produced or published after Warshaw's death in 1969. This practice has since ceased.
Restrictions:
Collection is open for research. Some items may be restricted due to fragile condition.
Rights:
Collection items available for reproduction, but the Archives Center makes no guarantees concerning copyright restrictions. Other intellectual property rights may apply. Archives Center cost-recovery and use fees may apply when requesting reproductions.

Safety equipment ; first aid products ; Conney Safety Products was founded in 1946, in Ripon, Wisconsin as an extension of a family retail clothing store. Nat Conney, the founder of Conney Safety Products, saw an unfulfilled need for specialty clothing and safety products after receiving several requests from the food processing firms in the area. As a result, he turned his retail clothing business in a new direction - safety products. The product line in the early years included aprons, gloves, rubber footwear, and rainwear that were sold to area canneries, meat and poultry processors and dairies ; (quoted in: http://www.conney.com/company/history.html
