MARX Toys founded in 1919 by Louis Marx became an empire as the largest toy manufacturer in the world. During the height of the Great Depression in the 1930's, people were destitute while Marx saw opportunity. He opened factories in Gerard and Erie, Pennsylvania, as well as Marx Toy’s largest factory in Glen Dale, West Virginia. Louis brought to life the toys children dreamed in their imagination, attracting eager boys and girls from all over the United States to Marx products. During the 1950's, Marx Toys achieved the pinnacle of largest toy manufacturer in the world with more than 1/3 of all toys in the United States. Louis “The Toy King'' was featured on the 1955 cover of Time, magazine illustrating how impressive were his astonishing achievements. In 1972, Louis turned 76 and sold his toy company. Yet, it turned out that Louis had been the one with the special touch with toys and the ability to produce wonders that children love. Although Marx Toys no longer exists, the memories endure in the Marx Toys that commemorate the eternal wonders of the toy world kingdom.
