HISTORY
In 1864, Joseph Binney, the father of Edwin Binney, founded the Peekskill Chemical Company in New York. He also set up his headquarters there, & in 1880 his son Edwin joined his company alongside Edwin's cousin C. Harold Smith. In 1885 when Joseph Binney retired, his son Edwin and his nephew C. Harold formed a partnership calld Binney & Smith. Their early products included red oxide pigment used in barn paint and carbon black used for car tires. In 1900, they relocated their company from New York to Pennsylvania. In the same year, they earned the company a gold medal award in chemical and pharmaceutical arts. Colour was always a part of Binney & Smith's background in their career. From then on, Binney & Smith's company debuted and produced many art supplies that were used by students as well as teachers. There was a great demand for these products back in the day &
The invention of the Crayola Company brought art to children through a new and improved safe way, and therefore the products were accessible in school. Over time children got exposed to art and the creativity of expression at an early age. The impact to society was in the ability to encourage creativity of expression and that had a ripple effect across everything from what you see in the world to how you see it.
