Thank You for Gingerbread House Help 

Mrs. Leffel and her 3rd grade class  would like to thank Mr.& Mrs. Marty Maier for coming into the classroom and helping them  make gingerbread houses. The students had a great time creating their own gingerbread house. They even got to sample some of the goodies.

M&S Closes Doors

Friday, December 22, 2006 was the last day of production at M&S Manufacturing Company, after 61 years in the community.

Things were relatively quiet at the once-busy plant complex on the east side of Hudson. Many workers affected had already departed, the parking lot was nearly empty, and machinery movers had been busy moving equipment that had been sold.

M&S was founded here in 1941 by Alton McGhee and Max Sayre. It was mostly involved with defense contracting during World War II. Over the years the company grew to several hundred employees in a number of buildings, both here and in Morenci.

In the past few years the company has been steadily downsizing.. Last winter the company idled several buildings, concentrating operations in just four buildings.

It was announced in September that the plant would be closing. There had been reports that the company might be purchased, but in the end all the possibilities fell through.

About 135 employees were affected by the September announcement, but the number had fallen to less than 100 by last Friday.
