Stafford is best remembered as the president of Worsted Mills, which he lead from 1902 until shortly before his death. His son, Oliver Jr, was expected to replace him, but with his untimely death in 1919, Frankland Stafford was groomed for the position. The Cleveland plant was confronted with unsuccessful strikes in the 1930s over working conditions, and was briefly closed by the US government during World War II for refusing to supply military uniforms. | Creator: Souvenir Book of Cleveland 1921 | Date: 1921 | Source: Cleveland City Planning CommissionDownload Original File
