Note: In son Paul's baby book, was shown to have been born at "27 No. Putnam St., Buffalo, NY". This was his parents' home. Stan became a paper boy in Buffalo at about age 8. He got to keep about 5-cents/week from that job; the rest went to help the family. Stan had to leave school at about age 14 to go to work for his father in his printing/wax-engraving business in Buffalo. He was a wax engraver for the rest of his working life, retiring at about age 65. He had formed his own business, Haas Wax Engraving Company, Buffalo, NY. He had one business partner, Nick Bastian, plus 2 to 3 other employees. After engraving the wax masters, he sent these to the Koehler Electrotyping Co. (in same building, same floor -- 5th) for electrotyping and preparation of printing plates. The company produced engravings for the printing of business forms, time sheets, timecards, and rectangular & circular instrument recording graphs. They made the first set of trip-ticket plates (about 50; one for each exit) for the New York Thruway. Stan closed the business when he retired in 1960's. (Business partner Nicholas Bastian; b. 15 Feb 1903 d. Jul 1984) David Woodward, Dept. of Geography, Univ. of Wisconsin @@ Madison, authored the monograph "The All-American Map: Wax Engraving and Its Influence on Cartography" (1977), using much material from Haas Wax Engraving.
