...last summer, largely because of the cool weather, sales hit a plateau, and Piel's looked around for an old-fashioned hard sell in the form of a jingle. Bert and Harry were seen less and less.

But as their savings melt away, workers have lowered their sights. The loss of the Ackermann plant so upset Wheeling workers that a jobless steelworker, Thomas Elliott, set up a "save-a-plant" movement, signed up more than 700 unemployed workers who are willing to take much lower wages...
