factures. Yet, for its heritage, for all its inno-
vations, Miner reminds that company func-
tions basically come down to people serving
people. And in this case, he says the work-
ers at Weinbrenner take great pride in their
work. As a leading employer in Merrill, Wis-
consin, Weinbrenner employees have been
unionized since the 1940s, organized today
as #688 and #717 of the United Food &
Commercial Workers International Union,
AFL-CIO, and CLC. On the subject of
pride, it seems fitting to note certain terms of
Packer-perspective, that Wisconsin is an area
where people traditionally don the wearing
of cheese-themed regalia as an expression of
their pride in football. Such pride is similarly
extolled for their footwear. Miner says as an
American company, all understand the sig-
nificance of Buying American, but also em-
brace the belief that American goods reflect
a standard of quality and ingenuity, and this
is a tradition they are devoted to follow, and
further through the future.
With more than 95 percent of the
shoes sold in America being manufactured
in other countries, Weinbrenner remains
among the last, but most legendary, of shoe
manufacturers in America. 26
