    Leo F. Baum, one of the substantial business men of Cincinnati, is a
director of the J. Baum Safe & Lock Company. He was born at Cincinnati, December
30, 1883, and attended the public and parochial schools of his native city.
After leaving school he learned the tool-makers' trade, and followed it for some
years. The J. Baum Safe & Lock Company is one of the leading concerns of its
kind in the country, and manufactures safes, vaults and deposit boxes. The
company is capitalized at $180,000 and affords employment to 150 people. The
present officials are A. L. Baum. president; George M. Bacon, treasurer and
general manager; and Mrs. Mary B. Birmbyn, vice-president and secretary. This
concern originated as the Warth-Baum Safe Company, but became the Baum Safe
Company. After the death of J. Baum, one of the founders, December 17, 1917, his
estate incorporated the J. Baum Safe & Lock Company, May 26, 1916 to succeed the
company he had conducted for so many years. The territory covered by the sales
includes all the states of the Union and many foreign cities. The fronts and
backs of the safes produced by the company, are protected by patents which are
their property. This is recognized to be one of the sound industrial plants of
the city, and one which gives prestige to Hamilton county. Having had a
practical experience in the business, Mr. Baum's services are valuable on its
board of directors.
