Nice Assortment of Pens, and Pencil, John.
Excellent Blanks, Great Fit and Finish.

Most People don't get to Meet with Folk, from Kewanee Illinois .
I spent some time there back in 1976, when I worked with the Hyster Corporation, and I visited their Plant, which was formerly the Martin Trailer Plant.
I believe at that Time Kewanee's Main Claim to Fame was, "The Hog Capital of the World".
Also a Real Lot of Grain was Grown there.
I am very Pleased to Greet You,
You have brought back a lot of pleasant memories.

Brian.

Hyster is long gone now, but they still grow corn and hogs around Kewanee. I first came to Kewanee in 1975, met and married my wife, then moved on. Came back after retiring because it is a nice town and cost of living is low. They still have the Hog Days Gathering on Labor Day and I plan on setting up a table in the park to sell some pens this year.

Nice to meet someone here that actually knows where Kewanee is.
