How a $500 startup beside Lunken Field became Greater Cincinnati's full-line lubricant distributor — and stayed in the same family for nearly sixty years.
Three partners — Ralph W. Silver, Harold Adams, and Albert Wettstein — open a wholesale motor oil and parts business at 4212 Airport Road, in the shadow of Lunken Field, as Cincinnati's original airport was known back then. Three partners, three stars: they call it Three Star Sales, Inc.
Starting capital: $500Harold and Maxine Harness buy the business and rename it Aero Oil Company of Cincinnati, Inc. A company born beside an airfield, with a name to match — and six decades later, aviation oils are still on our trucks.
William F. and Eleanor T. Wohleber buy the company — the beginning of the family ownership that continues to this day.
Family-owned ever sinceAero Oil moves to 4289 Creek Road. It has been our address ever since — more than half a century at the same door.
William F. Wohleber Jr. takes over from his father as President and General Manager, carrying the business into its next chapter.
Six decades on, Aero Oil is still owned and run by the Wohleber family, out of the same building. Our people tend to stay a long time too — most of the crew measures their time here in decades, not years. Call us and odds are you'll get the same person you talked to last year, and the year before that.
