NOCONA, Texas — A North Texas athletic products company burned on Tuesday, putting about 80 people out of work in the small town of Nocona.
The fire destroyed the Nocona Athletic Goods Company, which is known for its Nokona brand baseball gloves.
Mayor Paul Gibbs said the loss isn't just financial—but historical and personal.
The company's Web site says the firm—which also makes baseball bats and protective gear for football players—has been in business since the 1930s.
Nocona is located 75 miles northwest of Fort Worth.
