    1. Elkland Manufacturing
    2. I found this on the Internet and I know Joyce has some listing for the place on her website in one of the township directories--I believe for 1908. I hope this helps: The Elkland Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of toys and novelties, was established in Elkland in January, 1887. F. W. Crandall, the superintendent, is the son of Asa Crandall, known as the maker of Crandall’s building blocks and who ran a furniture factory in Covington in 1840. Mr. Crandall was in the same business in Montrose, Pennsylvania, where his large factory burned August 27, 1886, involving a loss of ,000. His present plant is located in the old chair factory building. From sixty to seventy-five men are constantly employed, the annual output amounting to ,000. Toys and novelties are shipped to all parts of the world Please NOTE: the ,000 were part of the actual piece. The township Tax Assessor or town clerk should be able to tell you if the property went off the tax rolls and when that happened, or if the property (business) was bought out by another consortium.
