Pat sent in this week’s video from the National Association of Manufacturers – “…here’s a 6-minute video of the Westfield (Mass.) Manufacturing Company, makers of the Columbia bicycle (from the 1950’s) “bringing health and pleasure to millions of Americans.” Indeed..feel the vintage manufacturing vibe!” Link.
