Isn't that something...
It made me think... What if the south had won the war?

Re: Remington won the battle.
That is something Keith! Makes me wonder what the small town politics were that were involved in that. Whatever it is I bet there's an interesting story. If only we knew what it is.
But I'd classify it as a temporary victory, given the status of the two cutlery companies today.

You better pray that Brandford Supply was not supplying the tents, tables, and chairs!

Re: Remington won the battle.
i suspect it's quite simple. The Remington salesman offered a lesser price.
It's just business.

Re: Remington won the battle.
Very possibly true. But Bradford is a small town. I grew up in a small town so I know how things work. It's hard to believe Case didn't get a "last look" opportunity to match a competitor bid. It's also plausible that Remington thought it would be feather in their cap (and a great joke on rival Case) to get that contract, and bid a price so low that Case turned it down on final look.RobesonsRme.com wrote:i suspect it's quite simple.

Idle speculation - we will likely never know the whole story.

Thanks for the compliment Ed
Re: Remington won the battle.
Bradford Supply is still in business but the company has been in Illinois since the 1960s. They supply oil field equipment.
Here is their history: http://bradfordsupplycompany.com/companyhistory.html
Institutional memory of the Bradford, PA years is probably long gone but since the simplest explanation of events is usually correct, I think Charlie is right... it was just a matter of price. (However, I hope that long ago salesman got an extra bonus for that Bradford sale. )
