Barnhart Brothers & Spindler
Barnhart Brothers & Spindler Type Foundry was an American company founded as the Great Western Type Foundry in 1873. It became Barnhart Brothers & Spindler ten years later.  It was a successful foundry known for innovative type design and well designed type catalogs.  Oz Cooper, Will Ransom, Robert Wiebking, and Sidney Gaunt all designed for BB&S.  It was bought out by American Type Founders in 1911 with the proviso that the merger would not take effect for twenty years, so that the employees would have a chance to find new work or retire over time.  The foundry was finally closed in 1933.

Mergers and acquisitions
 Advance Type Foundry (AKA Wiebking, Hardinge & Company), Chicago, bought out by Western Type Foundry in 1914.
