DickL, Thanks for looking and finding Menards Inc employes more than just the people in their stores.
It too bad my post turned into a fit storm Rant on the items sold that are not made in US instead of focusing on what is.
So thanks again, you are one of the few who did a little digging into Menards Inc.
I've know a person who for the past 17 years has worked at Menards. I talked to her today and asked how many other business like the block and truss factory does John have his fingers in. She started rattling off many things sold at the store he is connected with. She also told me that every year the employees get a free plane ride to Wisconsin for a 2 day seminar, courtesy of John M. She said he spends $2M a year on seminars, has his won plane. Even though he is officially retired, he still micromanages the business. His brother conducts part of the seminar telling how the business began in his father's barn, making pole barns and selling lumber and nails.

Please no more ranting, do a little research and find what pockets John M has his hands in. thank you geo.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
