[edit] Global enterprise

The article states that the Singer president "built one of the first truly global enterprises" There were other global enterprises at that time! As others would be: The Hudson's Bay Company, La Compagnie des Cents Associés, The Virginia Company of London and others. --Anon. Dec. 2005

[edit] Singer Computers

When I was in college at the University of Kent in England in 1974/1977, we used a Singer mainframe computer - is that the same company? I see from the article that they were diversifying into those kinds of areas - but there is no reference to them building these huge computing machines. Is this the same Singer company?

[edit] history during the 90's and after

It's almost completely missing. Probably because it's so complicated... if someone could add it, that'd be great. I'll just add the latest bit in, about SVP. --Lukobe 21:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, it's not entirely clear the division is still called Singer Corporation... -Lukobe 21:13, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crucifixes Allegedly Made In Sweatshop

"A labor rights group alleged Tuesday that crucifixes sold in religious gift shops in the U.S. are produced under "horrific" conditions in a Chinese factory with more than 15-hour work days and inadequate food. ...St. Patrick's and Trinity bought the crosses from the Singer Co., a religious goods company based in suburban Mount Vernon. Co-owner Gerald Singer said the religious objects were made in China and purchased through a Chinese manufacturer called Full Start. " [1].
