Shortly after the 1995 merger was
announced, a large coffee table book was
send to all employees and customers.
It measured 12 inches by 16 inches
and contained 48 pages. As with most
coffee table books, it was light on
factual information and heavy on
inspiration pictures. I think
Kalamazoo employees, most of whom
were
very practical, were bemused by this
outburst of art and symbolism.
