Hammer Time

In a single year, this Illinois mop company uses enough fabric to stretch to the moon and back three times. When it's hammer time at this Illinois forge, man and machine turn a red-hot steel bar into a rock-hard tool that can take a major beating. There's no lying down on the job at this mattress factory where every made-to-order queen-size mattress is expertly finished off by hand. Keeping the company's flame alive after over 80 years, an amazing 12 million rugged Zippo lighters are hand-assembled in Pennsylvania every year.
