Additionally, as of 2019, Hasbro serves as the parent company of the mass media and entertainment firm Entertainment One. The company was founded in 1923 by three Polish-Jewish brothers—Herman, Hillel, and Henry Hassenfeld—in Providence, Rhode Island, initially selling textile remnants. Over the following twenty years, the business diversified into the production of pencil cases and school supplies. Hassenfeld Brothers was incorporated in 1926, with Hillel departing for another textile venture while Henry assumed leadership of the corporation. They began manufacturing their own pencils when their supplier shifted focus to producing pencil cases.
