Future titles planned for release:
CHAIR STORIES AND OTHER TALES of the Stomps and Burkhardt Families of Dayton, Ohio focuses on much of the same time period as
the GEMS book, but with special attention to how this history impacted Gustave H. Stomps and his relatives. Gustave H. Stomps is the great-grandfather
of Allan L. Horvath and his siblings. Allan's sister Gail Horvath edits this book with both historical and current photos, and with the text woven
together from numerous quotes by relatives and by associates of the family's two main businesses: The Stomps-Burkhardt Chair Factory and Stomps
Chevrolet Dealership. Color photos are primarily by James H. De Young.
By Loraine Stomps Horvath and Gail Horvath
