Hunt Corporation

Most every person who has gone through elementary school in the United States and Canada has sharpened a pencil, and for many, many years the ubiquitous BOSTON pencil sharpener was made by the C. Howard Hunt Pen Company of Camden NJ. Prior to the advent of the ball point pen, the Hunt round point pen, and more famously, the Speedball® pen were known and used worldwide. The Hunt Company also published books to aid people interested in lettering and cartooning, and sponsored scholarships in the arts and crafts. Hunt Pen, with offices at 652 State Street and a plant at 701 State Street in North Camden, was a fixture in North Camden up until 1958, when factory operations were moved to Statesville NC. The offices of Hunt Pen left Camden in 1963. During its time in Camden, notable events include the company's arranging for the immigration of expert pen makers from England, and its sponsorship of sports teams in Camden's amateur and industrial leagues. The 1936-37 championship softball team won 62 out of 71 games over two years. More at http://www.dvrbs.com/camden/camdennj-chowardhuntpenco.htm
