Pepperell Braiding Company, Inc. designs and manufactures arts and crafts materials. Our products include crafting components, stretch magic beading cord, hemp based craft kits and hemp balls, cords and accessories, industrial braids and cords, wicks, wooden beads, hematite beads, and crafting materials. 1789 was the year America's Constitution was signed and George Washington
became the country's first President. It was also the year Cornelius Holgate
established a woodworking shop on the outskirts of Philadelphia
in the Colonial town of Roxborough. We have been in continuous operation
ever since! Through the generations, our company has made numerous
wooden products for home, farm and industry.
Shortly after the Civil War,
Holgate moved to Kane, Pennsylvania, to be near the area's
abundant hardwood forests. In 1929, our company expanded its product
line by making educational pre-school wooden toys.
Holgate's early toy designer was Jarvis Rockwell, brother of famous
illustrator Norman Rockwell who visited the Holgate factory on several occasions.
Jarvis Rockwell's concern for safety, durability and educational play
earned him recognition as America's premier toy designer during this period.
With the great consumer success of its toys,
Holgate began concentrating on this segment of its business.
Today Holgate is synonymous with toys...
and still making the finest wooden toys in America.
Our factory is now located in Bradford, Pennsylvania,
still in the middle of America's premier hardwood forests.
Today, Holgate is recognized as the premier maker
of children's wooden toys in America.
We are 100% AMERICAN MADE!

The following is a reply from Holgate Toys to our question – "Are your products Made in the USA?"
How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.
We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.
To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.
What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.
Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
