E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter Cutlery and Tools

With E.C. Simmons as president, Simmons Hardware Company was developed into one of the most extensive corporations of its kind with divisions in Wichita, Sioux City, Toledo, New York, Minneapolis and St. Louis. The "Keen Kutter" brand name was chosen by Simmons himself in 1870.

Products manufactured by Simmons Hardware reached all parts of daily life. The company sold axes, guns, stoves, lanterns, furniture, china, horse carriages, sewing machines, baseball bats, boxing gloves, fishing and sporting goods, farm tools, hammers, kitchen items, padlocks, paper goods, pliers, knives, razors, saws, scissors, tool chests, and lawn and garden items.

"A jobber's first duty is to help his customer to prosper."
- E.C. Simmons
