Strombecker Corporation
 PROFILE
Strombecker doesn't need batteries or gadgetry to entertain kids. Mainly under the Tootsietoy name, the firm makes such age-old favorites as bubble makers and is the world's top maker of bubble-blowing toys. It also makes army men, die-cast cars, jacks, jump ropes, marbles, paddle balls, plastic animals, tea sets, yo-yos, wooden blocks, and is the world's top producer of toy cap guns. Nathan Shure founded the original maker of Cracker Jack prizes in 1892, bought the creator of Monopoly's metal game pieces in 1926, and acquired the Strombecker name in the 1960s with the purchase of a slot-car maker. The Shure family owns Strombecker.
