That's the one.
HLBP Co is the distribution company in China....kinda disturbing to think we can't or won't manufacture our own merchandise...

  I agree Barry..   Dont want to turn this into an argument, but with the COST to make about anything here in the states being so HIGH, it is only good business sense to use cheaper labor..   NOT that I am happy about it..

The sad thing is we are the ones forcing the companies to go overseas to get cheaper made products.  The american people are no longer willing to pay extra for quality. All they care about is price leaving the manufactures with no choice when it comes to manufacturing the product at home.

   I agree RR..  When, not if, we lose the reserve status, were going to hit rock bottom.. then some of those folks who would rather get unemployment or disability rather than work are going to be wishing for ANY paying job..
