Kane used to be home to many factories and manufacturers of products, like glass. These companies were a prime source of jobs in the early days of Kane witch allowed it to grow so big in the late 18 hundreds and early 19 hundreds. One of these companies is still around today, it's called the Holgate Toy Company. This company started in 1789 in Philadelphia and was originally a carpentry shop. After years of this it eventually became a toy company for young kids. After they started making toys they gained popularity and made a factory in Kane. Along with many other companies they started employing and helped to grow the size of Kane. Today the Holgate Company is still making toys for children and other products. Unfortunately some of these companies no longer exist which is a shame, but there are still ways to get their products so all hope isn't lost. Comments are closed.
