Re: [Phono-L] Last Edison factory gets a reprieve
It was run successfully with Charles Edison as its president, until it merged with McGraw in 1957. (You've never seen a 'McGraw-Edison' appliance? I have a nice heater of theirs - cost me $2 at a yard sale 30 years ago, and it still cranks out the BTUs very nicely!) I am unaware of any "terminal decline" - maybe of the unused buildings after the merger, but not Thomas A.

[Phono-L] Last Edison factory gets a reprieve
Here's an interesting article about how the last of the original unrestored Edison factory buildings in West Orange, NJ is avoiding being demolished and is being given a new lease on life: http://go.sparkpostmail.com/f/a/_hPUlARvdIHulXDrYi0U6w~~/AABF2wA~/RgRZ3qp2P0EIAGv96kh9bB9XA3NwY1gEAFkGc2hhcmVkYQhzdGFuZGFyZGANNTIuMzguMTkxLjIzN0IKAAH2dv1Xn3pShVIYYXJjaGl2ZUBtYWlsLWFyY2hpdmUuY29tCVEEAERZaHR0cDovL3d3dy5jbm4uY29tLzIwMTYvMTAvMTEvdHJhdmVsL3Rob21hcy1lZGlzb24tYmF0dGVyeS1mYWN0b3J5LWRldmVsb3BtZW50L2luZGV4Lmh0bWxHAnt9 It's amusing that one of the reasons for the reprieve is that the Edison cement of which it is constructed has steadfastly resisted several attempts by wrecking balls to bring it down. The Old Man's obstinacy lives on.
