ALMOND JOY PLANT SHUT DOWN AFTER 80 YEARS

[Zookie400]

just like the title says, after 80 years the plant is shut down, production to be moved elsewhere. it got us talking about all the "big name" things that were/are produced here in our little state. how many can we come up with?
off the top of my head, i had:
-colt
-marlin
-winchester
-silly putty
-moroso
-canton

shell casings? must be for the bigger guns. i know chrysler made 45ACP rounds our of steel in many midwestern plants like indiana, ohio and chicago.

you might as well add the names of Bridgeport and Linley to the list.

I honestly don't recognize the "Canton" name...
Lego & Schrader-Bridgeport I do..

i didnt know about lego's, and also i was told erector sets are made here.

Around here it is auto plants. Dodge shut down some plant near Detroit that built magnum engines for their crappy pickups. In my town Ford shut down the Wixom plant that built Lincolns and T birds. I suppose you can blame our economy and our lovely Gov. Granholm. She is strong for increasing taxes and forcing businesses out of Michigan.
