Back in the '70's when Sam Walton was still alive, he used to take tours of the facilities that supplied for Walmart. When my brother could still see, he worked at one of them in Middlebury, IN...CTS that later became Signature Metals, and who knows now. They used to and maybe still make the steel shelves used in stores for at least Walmart. My brother used to tell me back then, "Sam Walton came in today to take a tour" on multiple occasions.
