Names Of Marble Jobbers?

What all names of Marble jobbers can you think of?

Rosenthal, Penny King, Alox, Berry Pink Industries, Akro in their first years

And Don Miller is selling a couple of bags of Japanese cat's eyes from Paulanne Industries in Philadelphia. I'll guess I've seen that name before, but it didn't seem very familiar. Which got me thinking about this thread.

you forgot the largest, Imperial, and I would imagine there are hundreds if not thousands more. I think almost every corner 5 and dime or hardware store was a Jobber in the 20s and 30s. There are some interesting letters in the Peltier paperwork that was exchanged between some of the manufacturers about setting prices on their(all the companies) jobber marbles. I believe Price fixing was allowed back then.

And, as Galen says, many others. Here are some that put out several different types of bags and/or boxes - Wells Mfg (All Season, Fun Set), Codeg (Cowan de Groot - Europe), Danlee, Gordy Int'l, Hop Ching, Jak Pak, M Shimmel and a few Japanese side - Arco, Camel, Dog Brand, Wales, Paas, Sun Brand and Uncle Jack (which was Pressman - made in Japan).
