In 1905, when the Wernicke Furniture Co. merged with the Fred Macey Co., Otto H.L. Wernicke became an officer of the company. In 1906 the Globe -- Wernicke Co. of Cincinnati sued Macey for continuing to produce furniture using Wernicke's patents. After years of litigation, Macey won, then counter-sued to recover its court costs. Following Fred Macey's death from typhoid pneumonia in 1909, Otto Wernicke became company president, a position he held until his retirement from active involvement at Macey in 1916.
