Title	Cooper-Bessemer News
Subject	Military Ohio Business and Labor World War II Cooper-Bessemer Corporation Awards
Place	Mt. Vernon (Ohio) Knox County (Ohio)
Description	This issue of the Cooper-Bessemer News from 1944 discusses the awards ceremony for Cooper-Bessemer's Army-Navy "E" Production Award. Cooper-Bessemer received the honor for the production of ship and other military engines for the war effort. The newsletter is sixteen pages in length and measures 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm). During World War II, industries that participated in wartime production were eligible to receive the Army-Navy "E" Award for Excellence in Production. The award ceremony was elaborate, with high-level officers present and airforce fly-overs provided. Charles and Elias Cooper founded the C. & G. Cooper Company of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, in 1833 and manufactured industrial and farm steam engines throughout the nineteenth century. In 1929, the firm merged with the Bessemer Gas Engine Company of Grove City, Pennsylvania and became known as the Cooper-Bessemer Company. The company manufactured power and compression equipment for the transmission of natural gas. In the 1960s, Cooper-Bessemer began to diversify, eventually broadening its product lines to include petroleum and industrial equipment, electrical products, electrical power equipment, automotive products, tools, and hardware. In the 1990s Cooper-Bessemer Company began to focus on electrical products and tools and hardware, its two most profitable business segments. The company moved its headquarters to Houston, Texas at the end of the twentieth century.
