It is sad to see what American Industry has become and how many companies go off shore with their manafacture jobs for te sake of cheap labor. Living in a town that has as big a Factory as you have there ( Remington Arms ) one can only imagine what would happen to our area if that was taken away. Any ways Our new coffe maker in the same condition as when it was sold in the store lables and all still intact , I feel that someone that worked in that factory would like to have it .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901750129336286030.post-24364225391758146602010-11-21T17:43:58.137-06:002010-11-21T17:43:58.137-06:00My father worked at Mirro after WWII as a tool and...My father worked at Mirro after WWII as a tool and die maker. He met my mother there who was working in an office. He progressed to Product development. These buildings hold wonderful childhood memories for me, going to pick my dad up after work since in those days we all had just one car. Last summer I took both of my parents there and we peeked in the windows of where dad was a tool and die maker..and they reminisced where they made baked potatoes and where each machine was and who worked at it. While it is an eyesore, I got some wonderful pictures of them there and I watched my two 80+ yr old parents become animated with the memories. As these folks pass on, so do the memories of a different sort of Manitowoc. The buildings will become meaningless dinosaur skeletons of yesteryear...time does indeed march on. Thank you for these lovely pictures.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229532475752646473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901750129336286030.post-58552036259970494962010-10-05T19:15:49.385-05:002010-10-05T19:15:49.385-05:00Great pictures.

But that just for my own purpose...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
