As a fellow Columbusite, I'm gonna review this later. Nova Chrysalia (Talk) 02:00, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First two sentences should be merged.
The flood should be mentioned in the lead as another reason of its demise.
"It sold 237 buggies in its first year[8] The business saw immediate success thanks to a design created by the Peters brothers and a system of labor that made production efficient." Sentences should be merged.
"moved its production was moved to a new plant" Change to "moved its production to a new plant".
"The building it was housed in burnt down on May 27, 1874[9] and was rebuilt, and in 1875 they sold the business to another buggy producer, H. K. Tuller of Buckeye Buggy Company." Run-on.
"Buggy Co.[19] but" Replace period with comma.

Mostly copyedit level things. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 03:31, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've amended all of these. Tristan (talk) 01:18, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Payroll[edit]

Great entry, but, how could revenue have been $2 million annually and payroll was $300,000 per month? Payroll would have been $3.6 million annually? Jmcelwain2579 (talk) 13:37, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
