Berry Pink was from New Jersey. He worked for Morris Rosenthal, who was established in New York. (Can't remember if the Rosenthal family had also settled in New Jersey originally but I did know that once. )
Rosenthal was a marble jobber and Pink was deeply involved in that part of Rosenthal's business -- to the point that he joined the Alley company in the early 1930's. He appears to have brought his New York tastes along with him on this visits to West Virginia. (I seem to recall some unkind things were said about his tastes or attitudes.)
By the mid-1930's Pink left Rosenthal and set up his own jobbering operation in New York City.
Berry Pink Industries may have been selling Peltiers from the get go. I don't know if he was also still working with Alley at that time -- there was a lawsuit between him and Alley around that time -- but he was back to being on better terms with Alley later.
In the late 1940's he bought Alley and turned it into Marble King. He hired Roger Howdyshell to be the plant manager (that's Beri Fox's father) to deal with the actual manufacturing over there in West Virginia and he stayed in New York handling sales and promotions.
Soooo ... he liked New York and hung around there a lot of the time, but West Virginia (and Illinois) were where the marbles were being made and I don't think he had them shipped from there to New York for packaging. I think that was done in the same towns where they were manufactured. I'm pretty sure the "F.O.B." abbreviation has something to do with that -- letting people know that that's where their purchases would be shipped from.
