Edwards Glove Company Inc.
The J. Edwards Glove Company began operations in a small backyard manufacturing plant located in Appleton, Wisconsin sometime in the early 1940s. John Edwards was a tradesman who saw the need for a better glove for his industrys workers, a glove that could meet their need for hand protection with durability, comfort and fit. His company set these ideals as their goal for manufacturing locally a quality glove for area industries, while reducing cost by using Wisconsin tanned Buckskin leather.
Buckskin is considered to be heavy weight deer or elk leather, of which there was an abundant supply from local tanneries. Local power utility lineworkers quickly saw the value in his products and soon became the main market for his products. The company increased their product offerings by adding leather protectors for rubber insulating gloves as well as different styles and designs of their all leather work gloves.
