Back in the '70's when Sam Walton was still alive, he used to take tours of the facilities that supplied for Walmart. When my brother could still see, he worked at one of them in Middlebury, IN...CTS that later became Signature Metals, and who knows now. They used to and maybe still make the steel shelves used in stores for at least Walmart. My brother used to tell me back then, "Sam Walton came in today to take a tour" on multiple occasions. Back then, Sam Walton used to lend money to upstarts to "Make In America", not "Proudly Assemble In America" or just import Freight to some American Harbor from China. I remember those days. Sam Walton actually used to loan money to upstarts to "Make In America" to compete with the growing imports that also sold in his stores. But then, Sam died, his five or six kids inherited it split evenly and now about...100% imported Freight through some American Harbor from China.
I'm getting old and remember when it was once "Made In America".

Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
