Established in 1943 Cambridge Sporting
Goods Corp. was a sporting Goods
wholesale distributor located in North
Bergen NJ, with warehouses located in,
Hillside NJ, Los Angeles, CA. Eugene,
OR, Muncie IN, and Slidell, LA. They
carried a full line of sporting goods
made by the major manufactures but also
carried a Cambridge line of sporting
goods that were manufactured in Japan
and privately branded for them. Some
later gloves were produced in Taiwan,
and Korea.
In 1961 Cambridge, along with A.J. Hollander, and the Olympic sporting
Goods Co. were prosecuted by the
Federal Trade Commission, because the
gloves they were importing from Japan
had the names of ballplayers that did
not legally give endorsements to use
their names. Player names misused: Tony
Kubek, Elston Howard, Rocky Colavito, Al
Kaline, Whitey Ford, Early Wynn, Duke
Snider, Bill Skowron, and Jim Bunning.
