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.
Putting all the petty rants aside. I think John Menard is like Sam Walton, self-made, highly motivated and personally involved in business.
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 - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
