Paul King shared this interesting story with The Icon today. It's a story about a Bluffton slaw cutter that lasted 52 years.

Here's a portion of a letter sent this week to the slaw cutter company from a customer in Florida:

"Greetings. I put my cole slaw cutter in my suitcase flying out of Orlando, Florida, to my cabin in Illinois. Here is the problem. Cole slaw cutter was missing from my luggage when unpacking in Illinois.

Here's a story a little outside our viewership area, but it's an interesting one sent to us by our friends at Adman, Lima.

Rudolph Foods has announced the retirement of 51-year veteran Mike Reynolds. Hired in 1960, Reynolds has held a variety of positions with the Westminster-based food company, starting as a corn popper.
