CED Expands To North Dakota

I am exhausted; can't post any more tonight, and have to be up early in a.m.

But this is too good a story to not post now; I might comment on it later, but the story speaks for itself.

The Dickinson Press is reporting.

Now, if you want to see why this is such a great story, go to their website....

http://www.cedcareers.com/

.... and scroll down about a third of the page to "CED Locations" and look at that lone yellow dot. I assume another yellow dot will be added soon to North Dakota. What an incredible graphic, and it must tell us something about the development going on in western North Dakota.

Again, Don, alerted me to the site.

CED, from their website:

Fifty-seven percent of all U.S. homes were built before 1980, and total U.S. Housing Starts have averaged almost 1.5 million units annually since 1959. We supply just about every piece of residential electrical equipment to power American lifestyles.
