Shownotes Transcript

Richard and Chris talk to Jim Pressman about his career spanning multiple decades--and the family company begun by his father in 1922. This is essential oral history about the toy industry, about Jim and both his parents who were dedicated toy people as well as how the company evolved through its sale to Goliath. You won't want to miss Jim's great storytelling and the tales behind a 20th Century success story.

In The Endcap, Chris and Richard keep the history going talking about the U.S. toy industry in the 1920s and how it grew and expanded.
