I'm not so sure. Maybe for sentimental reasons. Buy for practical reasons? BOSS HOOVER was a practical business man. The plant was over 100 years old. What would it have taken to bring it up to current standards? Alot. Too much. Raze and start over. It was a good run. Time to begin anew.

I can't see 'Boss' Hoover looking kindly on the termination of so many, many loyal workers' jobs. As someone who took such good care of his local community - as preacher, as mayor, as generous (and frequently anonymous) benefactor - I'm sure he would be just as disgusted with what happened as many of the rest of the rest of us were. When he passed away, two services had to be held to accomodate the sheer number of mourners who had travelled to pay their respects. He wasn't your average cold, ruthless 'captain of industry'. He was a real humanitarian, and I don't think he could fail to overlook the human impact caused by the closure of his beloved, century-old factory.
Not for nothing have the North Canton locals branded TTI 'Totally Tradition Ignorant'.
Model2,
I wanted to say thanks for sharing of "Boss" Hoover. I know little of the man, I love hearing of men who do well in life and then "give back". If inclined please share more of the this man (why was he called Boss), etc, perhaps a of him too.
