We're in "Oneida" country, both the flatware business (which is not doing very well) and the Oneida Indians, who want most of New York State, it seems, or at least Central New York. They have a very successful gambling establishment, among other things.
There's a great Oneida Community Silver discount store in Sherrill, NY. Fun to shop and lots of great bargains.

No? What's the problem - cheap asian competition? It's too bad, they make really nice stainless steel flatware - we have 3 sets of it, one (heavy, really nicely finished) fancy set and 2 for regular use.
