Default Abel reels?

Any news about their potential demise? Can we look for any closeout
sales in the near future?

Potential? They're tango uniform. Company bought them to continue,
but doesn't look good.

Wrong, blame it on the back pain meds. I was thinking of Teton. They
are now Teton USA.

Okay got me looking. Only thing I could find was an blog talking
about the difficulties
http://singlebarbed.com/2009/09/04/i...utomatics-inc/.
Andrew Madoff is their CEO and the lawsuits have yet to be filed. You
hear something different?
I would have thought Ross would have been a buyer, but they've been
bought up by 3M. Wonder if Walmart is interested?

Hmm, from further research, it appears that T&T might get caught up in
the muck also.

Well, you're looking prescient right now. Per my sources, T&T's phone
has been disconnected and one cannot comment on T&T's status.
