[SEL] Podlesak mag

[Mark Shulaw]

Things sure have changed from the days when a company actually made 
everything they sold. Now all a "Holding" company owns is the
name brand and distribution rights. And hires everyone else to make 
their product.
Gone are the days like with Ford  Motor company when they even owned 
the mines the metal ore was mined from, the trucks that hauled it to 
the rail yard, the cars on the line, the ships that hauled it to the 
smelters and on down the line.   Ford farmed out very little in 
comparison to today.  Mark
