Well, Boeing was one I really pushed <g> -- and still do. Both Singer and Boeing are major casualties of the depression in Asia.

A couple of years ago, the Singer story looked appealing. A great franchise, a Europe finally undergoing corporate rightsizing, and an Asian market where a sewing machine can be the basis for a home-based business. Then Asia fell apart economically.
