| While working on this website,
we learned a great deal about Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith, the creators
of the world famous art company, Crayola. These two men formed a
partnership in 1885, and the cousins first sold red paint to use for painting
barns. The company took off from there, and it now produces over
12 million crayons each day. Crayons aren't the only art supplies
produced by Crayola. This company also makes Silly Putty, markers,
highlighters, and watercolor paints, as well as other safe art supplies.
Why are these men American
heroes you ask? Its simple! Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith
started the company that has reached out to children all over the world.
Their products have inspired many artists, and are used by millions of
children and art students each day. Their company is known for customer
satisfaction, as well as caring about diversity and culture.
