HISTORY
- August's father, Ludwig (Louis) Stadler [1828-1884], opened his soap factory in 1876[2] at a time when a medium-sized gully crossed from his property north of Archwood Avenue over to the northside of Willowdale Avenue.
- Ludwig's factory was located in that gully just west of West 25th St.. Presumably, the development of the residential area between Archwood and Mapledale Avenue proved to be incompatible with a firm that utilized animal fats and tallow which probably produced noxious odors. The gully was totally filled in and now is the site of housing and retail businesses.
- Louis' son, August, started up his own operation on the lower end of Denison Avenue. The soap factory was totally destroyed by fire on August 18, 1884.[3]
CUYAHOGA SOAP, a small family-owned rendering firm, became a major domestic producer of tallow. The company was a major consumer of the waste from Cleveland's stockyard operations. Cuyahoga Soap & Rendering, as the company was originally called, was begun by August W. Stadler in 1876 with $98 capital. (A friend offered him $100, but he turned down the extra $2 as unnecessary.) A fire and flood ruined Stadler's early venture, but undaunted, he maintained an office in his home while he acquired the materials to start over.[4]
