Toys 
Toys may be divided into a dozen general classes as follows: 
Amusement, architectural, educational, games, household furni- 
ture, kitchen, musical, natural history, trade, wagons and sleds, 
watercraft, and wheelbarrows. The industry was slow to 
develop in the United States, because much of the work was 
done by hand in years past and America did not have the 
skilled workmen, and also because German manufacturers in 
the vicinity of Nuremburg had an advantage over the American 
employer in that they could employ German peasants who 
worked in their homes for almost nothing, thus enabling the 
German manufacturers to quote prices far below the cost of 
production in this country. With the advent of improved 
machinery, however, New York manufacturers found a field 
of good business venture along certain lines and embarked suc- 
cessfully upon the manufacture of toy blocks, dominoes, 
checkers, handsleds, children’s wagons, doll carriages, coasters, 
toy shovels, carriages, ete.
