Anne:

There was a time that there were many textile mills in the US, but the mills were all closed and the work offshored to cheaper, foreign locales. What a pity!

I read an article recently talking about what was, in the '80s, a fairly inexpensive portable stereo (cassette deck!) produced in the US. The article stated that there are currently no manufacturers in the country who could produce such a devise today.

Times change, but things seldom seem to get better.
