Born in the town that the Zippo lighter is made, and the Case knives(the two companied recently merged)...my sister thought I'd like this news...I do....I think it's a step in the right direction...American pride=American made=American jobs...if companies all over the country would re-think their plans and do likewise-it'd be good for all concerned...I'm gonna go out and buy me a Zippo-and I don't even smoke!!! I used to carry one all the time because of my roots...but I kinda stopped after filling it just before church one night...forgot to shake off the excess...pastor gave a long and burning sermon that night......my leg was red as an apple.....[:I]
