5.0 out of 5 stars History with Grit and Grime, February 2, 2002

This review is from: The Granite State: New Hampshire (Hardcover)

This book is actually circa 1983. The first half is basic pretty interesting history, the last half is best. Here you will find company profiles for about 50 industries, and you can start sheding tears right now, as more than a few of these classic old companies are now gone. My interest is in old machine tools, so I found entries for Kingsbury Machine and Whitney Screw products fascinating. Speaking of Whitney, they are the LAST mfg in USA still in business makeing machine cut screws and this includes those quality brass wood screws you once bought at your local hardware. I hope someone buys this book and does something to help keep these industries alive!!!
