It is still a work in progress. I need to add information about the factories and I need to add more. I think this will be a helpful little tool. :) https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=214211442042662801524.0004c1348773708e5f079&msa=0&ll=38.61687,-93.955078&spn=36.208271,79.013672" rel="nofollow - https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=214211442042662801524.0004c1348773708e5f079&msa=0&ll=38.61687,-93.955078&spn=36.208271,79.013672 ------------- "Better By Design" |

Each placemarker on the map is the EXACT location of the buildings. Some still remain, and others are either gone or only have a few buildings left from the original complex.

Nice!
You might also want to add the Athens Tenn. Co. They are a secondary company that built equipment for Allis, Just like Oxnard did. ------------- Galatians 5:22-24 "I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!" |

No problem! I thank you for all your effort in keeping this history well documented!!
I became familar with that company, when I bought a very original subsoiler, with the Athens decal still very readable in good shape. I since had that decal remade, and have sold a few that are identical to original. ------------- Galatians 5:22-24 "I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!" |

| Great job Austin. If you want it to be exact, for the Lexington SC assembly plant use 367 Industrial Drive, Lexington, SC 29073. That will put the marker at the driveway going to the plant. All that is left is the concrete pad the plant was on and the parking lot. The parking lot is the one that is shaped like a baseball diamond. |
