Toilet-seat manufacturer Bemis Manufacturing celebrates 100 years in business.
A child's wooden wagon figures prominently in the history of Bemis Manufacturing Co. Arthur White, an inventor, launched the business that would be the precursor to Bemis in 1901 when he incorporated White Wagon Works in Sheboygan Falls, Wis.
Two years later Otis Trowbridge bought an interest in the company. He was the husband of Luella Bemis Trowbridge and brother-in-law to Albert Bemis, who is considered the founder of Bemis Manufacturing Co.
