Bader Industries

Bader Industries was the “Metaframe of the East” in regards to manufacturing stainless steel aquariums in the 1960s. In this attached 1967 catalog Bader shows illustrations of their terrariums, aquariums, hood line, stand line, aquarium cement (never seen a can), store aquarium racks, and aquarium corner filters. A size chart also shows they manufactured aquariums from 2 gallons to 125 gallons in size. In 1969 Miracle Pet Products was distributing Bader, and the one-page illustration below claims they manufactured almost 500,000 aquariums in 1969 alone!  TFH Publications owned Miracle Pet Products at this time.
