Collection Organization

The Buckeye Traction Ditcher Collection consists of various sales and instruction manuals, parts catalogs, photographs, customer information cards, and newsclippings, dating from the early 1900s to 1986. The collection, most of which was collected by William F. Wittenmyer, sales manager at Garwood, contains very little correspondence or other written material, which probably was destroyed when the company closed.
