      From: lessgovt@gmail.com              Sterilite was founded in 1939 in Fitchburg, Mass., as a partnership between       Saul and Edward Stone and Earl Tupper, the inventor of Tupperware. The company       gained initial business by selling plastic goods to the Armed Forces during       WWII. The company later        expanded operations to produce toys, storage tools, giftware, and other       plastic items.              The company relocated to nearby Townsend, Mass. in 1968. By the mid-70s, it       was one of the largest independent manufacturers of private household plastic       goods in the U.S. The company has since opened manufacturing plants in       Birmingham AL, Lake Havasu        City AZ, Massillon OH, Clinton SC, Ennis TX, and Davenport IA.              In 2009, Sterilite donated a new public library and senior center to Townsend,       the largest gift in the town's history.              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilite              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
