CoveShoe.com - The Official Cove Shoe Company Website

These both cite Martinsburg, PA, so they may all be made in one factory, not sure if companies are connected or just the one is contracted to make the other's stuff.

BTW, since no one mentioned it so far, USA Pan for bakeware. Looks like they make other cookware for stovetop now as well. Made near Pittsburgh.

I used to really like the heavy stoneware dishes from Pfaltzgraff. Are they still made here? I also like Musselman's applesauce and juices.
Hanover soups are pretty darn good, have you ever tried them?

Hershey Company is a giant disgusting disappointment. They claim they had to move some manufacturing operations to Mexico in order to stay competitive.
Really Hershey? Are you sure it isn't just greed?
Now the overwhelming majority of Hershey's employee base in Hershey are much lower paid service positions at their amusement park.
Now that I think about it I would expect nothing less from a company no longer controlled by anyone with any multi generational ties to PA.

Thank God there are still a plethora of Pennsylvania companies producing their products in the state employing Pennsylvanians.

I'll admit, I don't see them around in local stores as much as I see the snacks. I'll have to see if I can order them online. Good suggestion! Hamburger Soup!
