I once worked for a company called Figgie International. Their HQ was about a
mile from the Kirtland temple near Cleveland, OH. He buildt the HQ in the stile of Mt. Vernon with 3 buildings. His wife was the VP of Decoration. The office was a museum of sorts. He had about 42 divisions at the time I began to work for him including Rawlings Sports Goods. In the hallway of the office were a couple of Rockwell originals. He had a thermometer company and had Rockwell paint a picture of his children riding on a flexible flyer in the snow to put on the back of the thermomenters (entitled Downhill Daring). He also had him do a painting with Brooks Robinson that he used with Rawlings. What was cool was they had the whole chronology of what went into his paintings. First there would be a photo taken staging of the general makeup of the picture. Then charcol, a rough painting and then actual painting. He had an 1875 Winchester that had been presented to Rockwell there on a display.

They had an original Grandma Moses. There were documents signed by Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin hanging on the wall. It was so incredible.
