Description
This
pink
ribbon
was
distributed
to
Diebold
Safe
&
Lock
Company
employees
during
the
44th
annual
company-sponsored
outing
that
took
place
at
Meyer's
Lake
on
September
8
,
1917
. The
ribbon
measures
1.3
" by
5.6
"
(3.5
by
14.2
cm)
.
Meyer's
Lake
includes
both
a
lake
and an
amusement
park
. The
lake
itself
was an
American
Indian
encampment
through
the
early
1800s
.
It
was
originally
named
Wells
Lake
after
Canton's
founder
Bezaleel
Wells
. The
name
was
changed
in
1815
when
Andrew
Meyer
bought
a
large
tract
of
land
including
the
lake
.
Until
the
Civil
War
,
Meyer's
Lake
was a
secluded
spot
,
surrounded
by
oak
forests
and
frequented
mainly
for
fishing
and
ice
harvesting
. In
1869
the
Eclipse
Boat
Club
was
built
,
followed
by the
Lake
Park
Hotel
, an
upscale
resort
. The
Casino
was
built
later
and was
considered
a
fashionable
place
to
go
.
President
and
Mrs
.
William
McKinley
attended
numerous
receptions
there and
often
took
walks
along
the
grounds
.
Meyer's
Lake
added
an
amusement
park
in the
1880s
. In
1886
there was a
roller
coaster
(highest
point
20
feet)
,
roller
skating
rink
,
bowling
alley
,
billiard
and
pool
tables
, and
dance
halls
. The
Sinclair
family
purchased
it
in the
1920s
and
built
the
Moonlight
Ballroom
in
1926
.
However
, with the
rise
of
large-scale
amusement
parks
,
smaller
amusement
parks
were not
able
to
compete
and
Meyer's
Lake
closed
in
1974
.
