It was 1919, and C.S. “Cy” Ober, recently discharged first sergeant in the Army Aviation Service in WWI, started his own office furniture business in Indianapolis. The Michigan-based Metal Office Furniture Company—known today as Steelcase—wanted to expand its five-person salesforce to help sell the company’s three products: a steel filing case, wastebasket and desk. Catching wind of Ober’s ambition, Metal Office Furniture’s owner, David Hunting, took a train from Michigan to Indianapolis’ Union Station in 1922. On a handshake, Hunting asked Ober to become his first office furniture dealer. That handshake deal, which still stands today, helped form Business Furniture—the first Steelcase dealer in the world.Business Furniture Address
