John W. Kropf wrote a very personal history of the town of Sandusky, Ohio and the American Crayon Company that was in his family for several generations. He writes in detail about the ups and downs of the world of manufacturing and how this all affected the town of Sandusky, where the company was originally headquartered.
I was sometimes a bit confused about who was who and the time-line. Maybe the book could have benefited from some additional editing. Overall, an informative book
