Edwin B. Hausfeld. In presenting to the public the representative men of Hamilton county, Ohio, who have by a superior force of character and energy, together with a combination of ripe qualities of ability and excellency, made themselves conspicuous in the business world, we have no example more fit than Edwin B. Hausfeld. Not only does he rise above the standard of his line of business, but he also possesses in a high degree those excellent qualities of human nature that make men worthy of regard among their fellows. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, April 23, 1895, a son of Joseph E. Hausfeld who is a leading manufacturer of Cincinnati, Ohio. He received his education in the public schools of his native city, and at Hughes High School. Later he attended the Ohio Mechanics Institute at Cincinnati. After finishing his studies he engaged in business with his father, until April, 1916, when he started in business for himself, organizing The Hausfeld Vibrator and Equipment Company, which was incorporated on May 24, 1916, with a capital stock of $10,000. Later it was removed to Harrison, Ohio, where it continued. At this time Mr. Hausfeld enlisted as a private in the American army, in Company A, Twenty-seventh Machine Gun Battalion. Later he was sent to Camp Sheridan, where he acted as machine gun instructor, where he remained nearly seven months. He was honorably discharged as corporal, February 9, 1919, at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky. After returning from the war, Mr. Hausfeld again engaged in business with his old company, and in March, 1919, the company purchased a grey iron foundry and re-incorporated under the name of The Hausfeld Company, with a capitalization of $50,000. In June, 1920, the Hausfeld Company consolidated with The Campbell Bros. Manufacturing Company, also of Harrison, under the name of The Campbell-Hausfeld Company, with a capitalization of $200,000, and officers elected were as follows: E. B. Hausfeld, president; A. M. Campbell, vice-president; C. E. Haddock, secretary and Joseph E. Hausfeld, treasurer. This corporation remains under these officers at the present time. Fraternally, Mr. Hausfeld is a member of the Cincinnati Auto Club, The Masonic Club, and the 524 Temple Club. He is also a member of the various Masonic bodies. In conclusion, it may be said that Mr. Hausfeld's entire life has been spent in Hamilton county and it has been one of untiring industry, and well directed labor, which has resulted in gratifying success. All who know him, esteem him as a man of genuine worth and upright qualities, and in matters of citizenship, he has never withheld his support from the movements calculated to prove of general good to the people of the county, state and nation.
