Wheeler-Osgood employees were pictured on April 10, 1928, manufacturing mahogany doors. Mahogany is a very durable wood which resists rot. Its reddish hue and generally smooth surface makes for an attractive product as doors. The Wheeler-Osgood plant, located at 1216 Saint Paul Ave., would produce much of the nation's supply of doors. It closed in 1952 after being in business for 63 years. TPL-2449; G34.1-046
