Decatur Industries, Inc. Has Unique Display At Big Toy Fair

The Decatur Industries, Inc., of 209-211 South Eighth street. Decatur, is exhibiting its largest showing of new designs since the war at the annual American toy fair, currently being staged in New York City. Noah R. Steury, president of the local corporation, stated today that his son, Norman, and Harold Essex, both of the company's staff, are in New York now in charge of the display. With the end of World War II and the resultant lifting of many restrictions, production at the local industry is growing by leaps and bounds —and more and more emphasis is being placed each day on the manufacture of surprisingly novel items. With the intricate little toy musical instrument — imported from Switzerland, the world’s only producers of such an item —as the Basis ffor eadh inspiration the local firm now offers a score or more of clever, attractive, musical items. On display at the New York toy fair and to be seen at the local plant also are the following, for instance: There’s a cake tray that revolves and plays “Happy Birthday” or “The Wedding March” or some -other appropriate tune; There’s a musical beer mug that plays “How Dry I Am” every time it’s lifted or the “Little Brown Jug” that plays the tune of the same name when it's tipped. There’s a musical tea pot that cardTof thanks We wish to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to those who assisted us during the illness and death of our beloved husband and father, Frank Parrish.

naturally enough plays “Tea For Two,” a revolving Christmas tree that plays "Silent Night.” An appealing Madonna flower vase emits the strains of the incomparable “Ave Maria,” while “The Anniversary Waltz” comes from a fetching flower vase. The old favorite, Brahm’s “Lullaby,” furnishes the musical background for a clever "sleepy-time” number that looks like a television set and gives the delighted youngster a panoramic set of views as it plays. There’s a "Hurdy-Gurdy” number that gives the little tot a chance to emulate the old-time organ grinder, twisting the crank of a colorful little box slung from his shoulders. A delicately produced number is a miniature merry-go-round, complete with whirling horses, etc., that plays familiar old carnival strains. There’s even a novel bathroom tissue holder that plays a tinkling melody when used. Besides those manufactured at the local plant, the company has imported several numbers direct from Switzerland. A picturesque chalet “French for Swiss cottage” is one of the most intricate of these. All in all, the local corporation is undoubtedly doing its share in living up to the declaration of the toy fair officials that “every phase of American living is being reproduced in miniature at the fair” — and under Mr. Steury’s direction it’s being “done with music.” New York and Pennsylaania produce over two-thirds of our buckwheat crop.
