Surprise Surprise!

I was surfing misc.consumers.frugal-living NG and saw a post from a semi
retired Fuller Brush salesman (http://www.MyFullerBrush.com).. I couldn't
resist asking if they still sold port holes..
http://www.fuller.com/products_subca...at=2&subcat=11

You guessed it.. They not only still sell two different size port holes but
they still sell parts for them as well..

Well, THAT's surprising. I thought W-C had a non-intuitive product
mix, but at least it's all marine (As above, so below...)

Another example of "personality-driven" capitalism...anyone recall
when Ford built large planes? That went by the boards, too, because
while a junior Ford loved flying, the cost overruns were appalling. I
think the Ford in question was Edsel, not the most fortunate guy when
it came to new model introductions...
