SCJ is a great company to work for and to have in the community. they do treat their employees well and do foster a cult-like atmosphere. every good company does. the only people who don't like that are people who don't fit in or don't support a company's vision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-37925652905601933142011-07-31T08:25:46.616-05:002011-07-31T08:25:46.616-05:00Great story !!!!

Samuel C. Johnson was a struggling middle aged flooring salesman. When the local manufacturer he was working for discontinued the wood flooring line Johnson bought it. With hard work and some insight from His son Herbert the company grew to be a world leader.<br /><br /> The first Samuel C. Johnson lived in a very modest home on Wisconsin Avenue. He's buried in Kenosha the city he considered home. <br /><br /> We're so lucky that his Children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren -- consider Racine as their home.<br /><br />Looking in my crystal ball<br /><br /> Headlines will read some day<br /> JOHNSON'S WAX BUILDS WORLD CLASS CULTURAL CENTER IN RACINE,WISCONSIN<br /><br /> The massive Complex will include a modern new high tech Public Library, Fine Arts Museum, Heritage Museum and a large Theater for stage and music productions. all under one roof with a public mall space in the center. The complex is to be built on City parkland just south of the Racine Zoo.<br /><br />A member of the Johnson family remarked at the ribbon cutting - "The best interests of our home town have always been our first priority"<br /><br />Laugh now!! But I've seen crazier things happen in my short life. Maybe I'm a dreamer? But so was the original Samuel C. Johnson and look what happened to his dream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-8326421671347131312010-01-26T16:18:00.235-06:002010-01-26T16:18:00.235-06:0012.05 Nice comment -- Uptowngirl!!12.05 Nice comment -- Uptowngirl!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-83048615365879326922010-01-24T12:05:25.241-06:002010-01-24T12:05:25.241-06:00Thank you 8:44 for befouling another discussion.

From what I've heard, the House of Wax and its Ivy League elitists belong to an exclusive mutual admiration society. For the Carnauba Court and its fiscal flunkeys, the rest of Racine's residents are pawns, peons or peasants. The arrogance engendered by excessive wealth and a cult-like corporate culture have combined to transform a clan of cash-cadgers and the retainers thereof into a menace. Company towns and the corruption which they spawn do not happen by accident. Visitors who equate Racine with a corporate version of Stepford are merely honest people who know what they're looking at and call it by its proper name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-38298597990688391702010-01-22T15:33:45.561-06:002010-01-22T15:33:45.561-06:00Yes I like the photos as well, it had to be kinda ...Yes I like the photos as well, it had to be kinda cool before it was all fenced off I have always admired the globe from the street. <br /><br />Lots of good videos on youtube about the Johnson's Racine campus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-2651461219817147132010-01-22T11:46:57.123-06:002010-01-22T11:46:57.123-06:00Good job on this one.
