Dixie, let me tell you something I was told at a woodworking show about one of those "old brand-name factories". I was talking to a Jet factory rep just after they bought out Powermatic. I was asking about the Powermatic factory and whether production would stay there. I forget where it was located but he told me that the local high-school guidance councelors would take their students to the old factory as a "scared straight" event. The working conditions at that factory were so bad that it provided a good example of why the kids should stay in school and not go to work there like their parents had done.
