My dad worked there. We were a black family living a middle class life, in a mixed neighborhood, in the sixties. We lived on Dewey and had idora park about a mile away and spent our summers there or at the park. It was a good time.

Or it might have been Tool and Die(sp). I was a kid and don't remember the name clearly, only that it had Tool in it.

My dad worked at an ore mine that was partially owned by them. From the beginning of the rust belt Duluth.
