I spread that rumor! ;-) All Clad is in Canonsburg, out west near
Pittsburgh. Cookware & More is in Trooper, near Philadelphia. Just a
coincidence that both are in Pennsylvania. Cookware & More sells other
brands beside All Clad.

All Clad got it's big start not making cookware, but by making composite
metal ("clad") sheets, and selling them to the US Mint to make coins. That's
where the copper cored quarters and dimes in the 1960s originated. (See
http://www.all-clad.com/about-all-clad/Our-History/)

I'm a great one for wanting to know a company's history and where things are
made. One thing I think is kind of funny is I've got a Cannondale bag for my
bike that I've had for many, many years. So old in fact (1980) that it
predates Cannondale making bicycles. They were a bicycle accessory company
first, a fact that many Cannondale bike owners are totally unaware of.
