An Honest Days Work
This bronze statue of a cowboy sits in front of the Prescott, Arizona manufacturing facility of Sturm Ruger. Yep, that’s right, Ruger, the “Arms makers for responsible citizens©.” I liked the inscription on the plaque at the base of the statue. It reads,
by Fred Fellows.
In the vast reaches of the American West
the work ethic still exists.
The man who makes his living on horses
that are bound to buck, earns his pay.
A good hand is loyal to his outfit, meets a challenge,
and takes pride in an honest days work.
Just a little information about this facility: it is located adjacent to the Prescott Airport and does not conduct tours for visitors. A facility security agent informed me that tours are conducted for employees and that he believed that someday they would open them to the public. He gave me a catalog with lots of real purdy guns in it.
