Title: Re: There IS a God!
In the Business Section of this morning's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, was the following article:
Michigan Bulb Co. , Shuts Down Operations
Michigan Bulb Co., one of the nation's best-known gardening mail order firms, closed Friday, putting 225 employees out of work. The shutdown ended months of speculation as, one by one, board members and key executives quit the company, which is owned by Foster & Gallagher Inc.
Sadly, Michigan Blub is not the only casualty of their poor
business practices (see
http://www.gr.mlive.com/business/index.ssf?/business/stories/20010626gbulb26104803.frm), NationalGardening.com, which was
purchased by F&G a year or two ago has shut down as well, taking
with it all of the content from the on-line National Gardening
Magazine which converted from print to on-line last year. The
demise of the print magazine was quite a blow in my estimation,
but to loose the content altogether is a crying shame.
A long time friend and colleague was editor in chief at National
Gardening Magazine and then National Gardening.com. He is one of
the best in the business and had great plans for the future of
NationalGardening.com. Too bad that F&G couldn't manager
their business better, we have lost some of the best content and one
of the best content providers because of them.
