As Queen City Sausage prepares to celebrate 50 years in February 2015, timing could not be better for Elmer Hensler to be inducted into the Greater Cincinnati Business Hall of Fame. Elmer began the Queen City Sausage Company in 1965 with 2 partners and $13,000.00.
Elmer Hensler has lived the American Dream: Work very hard, give your very best, never give up and you will be rewarded! Elmer’s story began when at the age of 12 he began stopping by the local slaughter houses which dominated Cincinnati’s meat packing district in the West End.
