The Company consisted of Charles F. and his brother Joseph E. Shiels, sons of a local sawmill owner. At the time Cincinnati was a center for steamboats, railroads, and the manufacturing of tools, furniture, office equipment, coffins, soap, and many other goods. Shiels specialized in stock for wagon and carriage manufacturers throughout the Midwest.
This led to supplying the factories producing furniture, cabinets, automobiles, machine tools, steel, road construction equipment, pumps, valves and many other industrial products. Sons Paul, then Richard Shiels succeeded Charles F. as the principal. Marjorie DuBrul Shiels assumed ownership in 1968 at the time of her husband, Richard's death.
