I apologize for missing my last blog post. As you may know, things both at home and at work are chaotic. I would think about what I should write, get interrupted and loose my train of thought. One of those times, I was thinking about the blog and the topic of our country’s semiquincentennial came up. It got me thinking about the history of our company when I realized something. While we talk about “Quality Reel Grinders Since 1902”, that is when we first started selling them. Our records indicate the work on the design and development of the first grinder began in earnest in 1901. That may not seem significant but that would make us 125 years old this year, the same year that our country celebrates its 250th year. That maens we have been around for half the life of our country! So help us celebrate our quasquicentennial while we all celebrate the USA’s semiquincentennial.
