Gummy Lump Toys Offers A Treasure Chest of Fun
Before starting up Gummy Lump Toys in 1995, Linda Rocco (pictured, right) worked as a retail manager at the IKEA store in Hicksville. Not only did she show an interest in the nice, new wooden toys being sold in the store, her customers did, too. “Every time people stopped at my department, people talked about how difficult it was to find quality wooden toys,” Rocco said, adding they could only find “plastic toys or battery-powered toys… I tried to find the wooden toys I liked and then I started my own business."

Triangle Building Products Corners The Home Building Market
One of the ways a business survives is by adapting to changes within its industry. Triangle Building Products Corp., which has been around for 15 years, was able to do just that, having been formed in response to changes in the residential building products industry. In 1936, Island Coal and Lumber was formed. The company operated a lumber yard in the Medford area. In 1970, Abe Meltzer of Triangle Pacific Corporation purchased Island Coal and Lumber, which was responsible for the growth of Medford and the surrounding areas during the 1970s. Meltzer's son, Bruce, puchased the lumber yard in the late 1970s and operated the yard independently.
