Abstract:

In 1915, Miss Charlotte Yale and Miss Eleanor Vance opened the Tryon Toy Shop at Tryon. It operated successfully until the Depression and then a fire which wiped out their equipment and patterns. The business was later taken over by Moss Guilbert in 1949 and later by Chuck Hearon in 1977.
