It's so frequently bathroom-related with you.

My Aerostich motorcycle suit. Zippers on the pants finally wore out a bit, great service getting 'em repaired. Pricey stuff, but solid.

We're cooking

I'll put in a shameless plug for the company I work for, Lincoln Foodservice Products Man. LLC. Our British parent company was just purchased by an American crane manufacturer, Manitowoc. They have a 2 year backlog, so their stuff must be pretty good for a customer to wait that long.

At our facility we produce:

WearEver commercial cookware.
Lincoln Impinger Ovens. We've been shipping thousands of units worldwide, including to China.
Merco/Savory warm holding units and commercial toasters.
Redco commercial slicing and dicing products.

Much of the very best restaurant equipment on earth is produced by us, or our sister companies. Our Enodis parent company has 13 factories in the US.

WALMART

Seriously, where else will you get insanely low prices day after day!

WALMART

Seriously, where else will you get insanely low prices day after day!

Look closely and comparison shop some selected items.

You'll quickly find that Wal Marx, for many products, is no bargain.

wow.. i guess we do have some industry left.....

~~~~------------------------------------------~~~~
#1 choice: COLEMAN (lanterns in particular)-- you can still buy parts for a Coleman lantern made 70 years ago.. now that is parts support!! not to mention they are tuff as snot. still made of METAL with the same quality as the one hanging in your grand pappi's garage.
~~~~-------------------------------------------~~~~

International Harvester (IH) pre 1980 (mostly with the farmall letter series tractors, pre 1955. many which are still going strong today)

post 1980 I would say john deere. though caseih still makes a good tractor, though alot of their parts (maybe the whole thing) are made in europe. I think deeres (the bigger row crop tracotrs anyway) are still made in the ol USA

International (semi trucks) - they really went outside the box with their new Lonestar truck. I hope they make alot of money with it.

there are a shit load of great american companies big and small.


The worst are the ones that think they are too big to fail........nothing is too big to fail.

GM is too big to keep. They are a micro version of a false economy.

I would almost be willing to swear that Dilbert works for GM. I think working there and caring about automobiles would be a nightmare.

By the way, Cummins took over Case Tractor. That 'little' diesel they turbocharged and sold to many a Dodge pickup owner was a Case tractor motor first. Case just hadn't thought to turbocharge it and get a little power out of it. Cummins did.

Yeah, hard to keep up. A couple of years ago, I'd have smiled broadly and typed Converse shoes. No more.

Nice to see Zippo mentioned. Cat barely qualifies these days, but John Deere certainly does.

Love my Weber grill.

ok that sucks, but i have boycotted enough things based on principle... I'm not giving up my chucks just because some dildo took over the company and ruined it sorry

(edit: but i won't buy any new ones)

All their best are designed by Mazda.

Fusion = Volvo S40

 

[acptulsa]

Fusion = Volvo S40

Yeah--Ford's European arm (which is in bed with Volvo) does the intermediates, Mazda does the compacts and Ford U.S. the large cars and "light" trucks. Volvo cars and the truckmaker of the same name have parted company. In other Nordic news, Saab is now a division of GM.
