AUDIT ROW #367 · ATWOOD BROTHERS · CENTRAL CUT GLASS'S OFFICERS — AT BANKED STRENGTH

The Atwood founding was a brothers' founding: Walter J. Atwood and Ed E. Atwood, whose pickle-and-onion house the business and farm records carry whole. The Central Cut Glass founding was an officers' founding: Herman Roseen, president, and N. W. Ericson, secretary, in the corporation's documented headship. What neither record reached in this build states is a share division — who held what fraction of either firm at founding — and the checklist's fractions question (the next articles take it up for the banks) is answered for the industrials here, plainly: the founding generations are named, their roles are documented, their shares are not in the sources reached, and Howard's biographical sketches with the Secretary of State's filings are the named settler for the division if it survives anywhere. The item closes mixed on those terms — founders at chief strength, fractions under their settler.

Principal sources: Businesses (the Atwood brothers; Roseen and Ericson at Central Cut Glass), pointed to; settlers named — Howard's biographical sketches; Indiana Secretary of State filings.
