About Carl Schraubstadter. I had a book published last year in which the Schraubstadters played significant roles; Carl, Sr., Carl,Jr., Oswald, and William, all typefounders. The book, Recasting a Craft: St. Louis Typefounders Respond to Industrialization, is available from Southern Illinois University Press and from on-line dealers. You can check the index on-line at Amazon to see the Schraubstadter listings. The elder Schraubstadter’s Central Type Foundry became one of the more important type foundries in the country, as did the similar business started by his sons, the Inland Type Foundry in St. Louis. –Bob Mullen
