Description

In the late 1920's, the company was started by Frank W. Hood, Sr., as a manufacturer of leather saddles. Early on, Mr. Hood realized the demand for saddles would diminish as the automobile became prevalent in society. In the early 1930's, Hood Leather Goods became associated with Wendt Manufacturing Co., which was a pool table manufacturer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Hood Leather Goods became their supplier for the leather pool table pockets, as well as Brunswick Corporation and other pool table manufacturers throughout the country. The company survived the Depression and World War II. Frank Hood, Jr. took over the running of the company until his death in the mid-1960's.
