Hey have you been to Leominster? Not Leo-minster as it is written but “lemon-ster” as it is pronounced by them Yankees up there. Home of the pink flamingo, yes, it was created there, and according to many the birthplace of the American plastics industry, (nickname: Pioneer Plastics City) who knew! They have a great plastics museum in fact; I would suggest you go by. The Plastics Industry in Leominster began with the comb industry in the 1770s; while women’s hair combs remained popular for some time, the flapper hairdo’s killed the hair comb in the 1920’s and pretty much the local plastic industry as well. What were 300 comb makers in the heyday has now whittled down to 2 - 4 depending on whom you talk to. Times are tough for domestic plastic makers with the cost of oil being sky high; these firms are struggling to keep producing. These two combs that look like lollipops are hope on the horizon, one for the back pocket (daylights styler), the other for around the house (trans. red dresser), come on, lighten up!
