Everyone was so nice. I used a manual black typewriter with keys that went click click...we shipped crayons various ways and the railroad. I miss the black box of quality Prang crayons., railroad chalk, paints etc. Guess the business was taken over by Crayola back East. Guess that is what we see now in the stores too bad. We didn't use computers, filed cards, used dial phones, sent shipping cards to customers, no emails back then. Like was simple, but business went on.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27226233.post-34181373648055313172015-12-20T00:58:39.807-05:002015-12-20T00:58:39.807-05:00I don't want to sound mean, but, I think one r...I don't want to sound mean, but, I think one reason prang lost a lot of business is because they must have never expanded their sales territory. I never saw any prang products even sold in this area at one point in time and most stores were only selling Crayola or some cheap imported product. when I was young, nothing beat their product (absolutely the best crayon and water color paint kit that I've ever used)frizzlefrapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27226233.post-83953934715610565722015-10-17T12:40:54.254-04:002015-10-17T12:40:54.254-04:00I want to buy some crayons!!

I was wondering if anyone is aware of a photo of that plant or factory. It was during the war and the employees were very kind o her. I have exhaused all research avenues so if someone knows where I could obtain a copy of this I would forever be in your debt and it would make one elderly lady's day.

I always loved the scent of Prang crayons and was sad when they no longer had Sandusky Ohio printed on the box.Martha sixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07656598855920414021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27226233.post-46657711486359868912009-04-30T14:09:00.000-04:002009-04-30T14:09:00.000-04:00I think I might check a little at census and such ...I think I might check a little at census and such to see if Mr. Prang ever had a 'e' at end of his name.<br /><br />You have such a nice professional blog, I am going to add it to my arootdigger blog.arootdigger2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07064537839731995421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27226233.post-41237559928107631392009-04-23T16:32:00.000-04:002009-04-23T16:32:00.000-04:00Thank you for your interest in our site, can you r...Thank you for your interest in our site, can you resubmit your comment?
