Paddle-making in U.S. is good business

 

Punishment paddles were not only used frequently in United States schools, they played a significant part in the lives of university students as well. Except that the students were playing with paddles for fun.

By 1935, Wayne Allen had been making paddles for the University of Missouri for 32 years.

As published in the Holdenville Daily News (Oklahoma, United States), 27 November 1935.

It seems paddle making was good business, here’s a report from 1941 about Russell Nash and his Nash’s Old Hickory Paddle company that produced 8,000 paddles in a year.

As published in Santa Barbara News-Press (California, United States), 7 September 1941

And another report, this time from 1939.

As published in Muskogee Daily Phoenix and Times-Democrat (Oklahoma), 27 July 1939
