The story of a 52-year-old Bluffton slaw cutter
Paul King shared this interesting story with The Icon today. It's a story about a Bluffton slaw cutter that lasted 52 years.
Here's a portion of a letter sent this week to the slaw cutter company from a customer in Florida:
"Greetings. I put my cole slaw cutter in my suitcase flying out of Orlando, Florida, to my cabin in Illinois. Here is the problem. Cole slaw cutter was missing from my luggage when unpacking in Illinois.
"So began going to flea markets and ended up with six of these cutters.
"Only then did I look you up or I would have bought new ones from you because my sons like these, too. The testimonies show yours is the best in the world. I agree!"
Thank you
PS. I had my slaw cutter for over 52 years.
