WHY NOT REBUILD OUR FACTORIES?

It isn't like we don't have a place to operate from. The brick factories in America can be wonderful homes for returning industries. I am reminded of my French-Canadian American forebears, with fourth grade educations, dedicating their lives to factory work and raising huge families. It was the power of the cradle. From generation to generation scab labor prevailed.


In the early fifties I recall hearing family conversations of the New England shoe industry moving South. The textile factories in greater Boston moved too.It was a bad deal. One by one the brick edifices succumbed to the wrecking ball. Lots were cleared and things were forgotten."What factory"?


Souvenir picture  post cards are what remains of a memory. I recall seeing and hearing the smokestack of the Quaboag being dismantled one brick at a time. This may have been around 1956. Once by one the factories disappeared. The American Optical in Southbridge may be the one local exception.




Bold new visions will be required To Make America Great Again!


Too many  Big Shots lack visions.The boldness in DOING...in daring to take a shot will keep our prosperity in tack. I am afraid big business it too big for the "Little Guy." America must ROCK ON!
