Our business was growing rapidly. Plants were working 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to fill hanger and flyswatter orders. New plants and sales office were opened in California and

Washington to serve the West Coast and in Delaware to serve the East, and a sales office was added in Pennsylvania. A fourth plant was built in Wisconsin to serve the Northern Midwest and the Peoria plant was moved to Metropolis, Illinois to service the Southern part of the country. With these plants located closer to their markets, shipping time and costs were greatly reduced.
