Kiwanis members hear history of Kenton Toy Co.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, November 10, 2016

Ada Kiwanis members heard a "toy story" at their Nov. 8 meeting.

Jim Pruden and his wife, Sandy, presented a program on the Kenton Toy Company.

The Prudens related the history of the company beginning with its establishment in the late 1800s as the manufacturer of a cast-iron bank, the “Empire Bank Building.” In addition to banks, the company also produced horse drawn toys, a zoo wagon and many more.

They mentioned a book, written a number of years ago by Charles Jacobs, then curator of the Sullivan-Johnson Museum in Kenton. The book, which is available at the Kenton museum, is considered by many as the definitive source of the company and its products.
