Day: December 3, 2010

Before manufacturing moved overseas….

On this day in 1966: In The New Yorker, a full-page cartoon by Whitney Darrow Jr. depicts Santa Claus telling his elves, “I have an announcement to make. As of next March, because of conditions too advantageous to be ignored, I’m moving this shop to North Carolina.”
