Marble King was founded in 1949 by Berry Pink and Sellers Peltier and was originally located in St. Marys, West Virginia but due to a 1958 fire that destroyed that facility they then moved to to Paden City (pop. 2,683) where it remains today. Inside the one-story brick factory, workers dump a container full of recycled glass into a 2,350-degree, gas-fired furnace every 20 minutes, producing a continuous stream of molten glass. Propelled by gravity, the red-hot liquid flows through a channel inside the furnace and is cut into sections that are formed into smooth, spherical shapes. Every day, Marble King uses more than 4 tons of mostly recycled glass to produce about a million marbles in 300 different sizes, types, and colors—everything from crystal green cat’s eyes to periwinkle marine crystal marbles.
We welcome American Marble King Inc. as a new member of

"Not only the wealth, but the independence and security of a country, appear
to be materially connected with the prosperity of manufacturers. Every nation ... ought to endeavor to possess within
itself all the essentials of a national supply. They comprise the means of subsistence, habitation, clothing and
defense ... The expediency of encouraging manufactures in the United States, which was not long since deemed very
questionable, appears at this time to be pretty generally admitted."
-- Alexander Hamilton ... an American Made Hero! |

"It is widely agreed by economist such as Martin Wolf on the right to Paul Keugman on the left that we are not
simply facing a financial crisis that can be patched up by a new regulatory system. Indeed, we are facing a crisis that
has its' roots in the distribution of production within the global economy where you have built up enromous overcapacity
in trade surplus countries such as China, Japan and Germany which has been enabled, for several decades, by debt driven
consumption in the United States."
-- Michael Lind, New America Foundation
