Never-Split Seat Co.Â
by Hannah Myers
Throughout the history of Evansville and continuing today, manufacturers of wide varieties of products have called the area home. This included the Never-Split Seat Co. at what is today Crawford Door Sales at 1701 N. Heidelbach Ave. across the street from Bosse Field. Never-Split Seat Co. built the building at this location in 1909 and operated here until Hoosier Cardnial acquired the location in 1944.
During World War II, every Evansville built LST received Never-Split toilet seats and 6,000 were sent to Camp Breckinridge. The company boasted in its advertisements that their factory was the largest of its kind in the world!
In the image here, c.1920, workers are seen posing inside the factory surround by products in progress.
