May 17, 1996: Dial Soap & Nabisco

We visited Dial Soap today.   Each of us got a 9 inch bar of soap off the line.   It hadn't been pressed with the 'Dial' name on it.    We also got samples of other soap.  

Our last stop of the trip was in Melrose Park at the Nabisco Company.  This was the biggest bakery in the world.  Their storage retrieval system was automatic.  It stored 20,000 pallets, 11 stories high.   Pallets were picked automatically with the use of a computerized picking machine.   Saw how Oreos were made.    They served us baked beans, hamburgers, chips, pop, potato salad, and brownies for lunch.  On our way out of the factory, we got a bag of Nabisco goodies.   Nabisco stands for: National Biscuit Company.   The employees that work there looked like they had one too many cookies.   

We got back to Kalamazoo around 8:30 p.m.  I stopped at Kelsey's apartment on the way home to visit.   I showed Kelsey all of the free stuff I got on this tour.
