[QUOTE="Dump and Dash, post: 658580, member: 9309"] Those companies still have active websites, but I think people just dont order as much of this stuff as years ago. In the catalogs it looked like you would be getting a huge smoked sausage but when the package arrived there was a bunch of fluff and some little sausage about the size of a hot dog! One year in the late 70's or early 80's we had so many shipments of Hickory Farms, Figis, Wisconsin Cheeseman come in that they had to stack it in a row about 80 feet long x 10 ft. high x 10 ft wide. Looked like the Great Wall of China. Must have been 200,000+ pieces and it was chipped away at for days until it all got delivered. At least it was driver release! Harry and David is going strong. I toured their plant in Medford, OR last month. Awesome operation. They said 8000 people work there, 3000 are phone operators, and 100 forklift drivers. 3 million gift baskets are shipped from there and 3.5 million from Ohio. They even had a forklift "cop" to make sure that safe driving was followed! [/QUOTE]
