Ah, I can only assume that was the distribution center in Carslbad; it
could well have moved *there* from Vista. I worked in a manufacturing
plant that was formerly ATI Tools, which started out in Los Angeles in
1937, moved to Escondido in the 1970s, and was bought by Snap-on in
the late 1980s. We had no connection with the mobile dealers, and our
only contact with the distribution center was when it was closing and
a couple of us were sent to scavenge some file cabinets and such.
