In the company's heyday, Sandusky residents could smell the prosperity the company produced.
"It smelled up the whole town. It made you sick to your stomach in the 1940s," said Janet Senne, president of the Erie County Historical Society.
Her husband, Donald Senne, explained that his father, Alfred J. Senne, worked in the electrical department at the plant.
During the 1920s and the 1930s, "it was the biggest employer in town," Donald Senne said.
