I drove by a building, which housed a local supermarket headquarters. The supermarket was bought out by some company from out of town, which kept the stores open for a few years, then closed up shop, claiming the company was not making a profit here. That is the way of the world, it seems.
Some businesses moved into the building, which was good to see. A sign caught my eye:
HAND SCREW MACHINE PRODUCTS.
I believe that this company is a large conglomerate.
One of its subsidiaries is the Thumb Screw Machine Company.
Although it is not a publicly-traded company, another subsidiary is the Head Screw Machine Company.
I heard that the companies have a number of government contracts and regularly ship orders to various locations overseas.
