Why not American?

Sat., March 19, 2016

Great picture in the March 3 edition by Dan Pelle concerning the new Napa Auto Parts store being built.

One observation I saw was the piece of heavy equipment shown is manufactured by Volvo. Nothing against Volvo, but why not an American company like Caterpillar?

Another indication why American manufacturing workers are hurting and candidates running for office like Trump are winning blue-collar voters over.
