Mr. Feuer, Vice President of Classic Toy Company, explained the importance of weather in his
business today. He manufactures and ships stuffed animals to carnivals and
other events throughout the country. Cedar Point is a major client of his. His
business is very weather dependent. When there is good weather, his orders
increase tremendously because these events take place outdoors. However, when
the weather is poor, his orders will drop as demand decreases. He says he is
like a farmer, with the weather playing an important role in his success or
failure. The designs for the animals are created here, then are sent to China. The
skins of the animals are produced in China, where the labor costs are
considerably lower. The skins are then shipped to west coast ports on cargo
ships, then overland to Cleveland. They are then stuffed and shipped throughout
the country.
