Arcola Illinois
#1
Well I'll be damned . Today I bought a dust pan just because I needed one and it turns out to be made in Arcola Illinois.. I've been to Arcola several times on purpose because one of my best friends is from the tiny town in Illinois , population ,about 500 or so.  My friend, Witt, Michael Wittington still lives there with his mama as he has since he was a boy.. Turns out that the dust pan I bought was made in Arcola where the biggest job teenagers ever do every summer is to tassle the corn. If you've ever been in a corn field in Arcola it grows around 20 feet high and you can quite literally not see the sun walking along the stalks AND along the fields between the different fields you can find more than enough wild weed growing.  Free marijuana ! lol.. We harvested pounds upon pounds of it. It's not high quality, but there's LOTS OF IT growing out there every year ..  
I need to call up my old friend to see how he's doing.  It's been about 20 years since the last time we got good and drunk in the area, but he's a good guy . I'll be damned.  A Libman dust pan made in Arcola, Illinois . They're better known for their corn stalk brooms..
