A Banner Year
About a year and half ago, I posted a picture taken of Klipsch Employees circa 1975. This was taken a mere one year later, and you can see the head count nearly doubled. I'm not sure what attributed to the surge... either business more than doubled...
Home of the Klipschorn
I blogged a while back about two vintage "Klipsch & Associates" signs that were uncovered at the plant in Hope ( here and here ). They have since been retouched, framed, and hung with pride at our engineering facility in Indianapolis, serving...
Slug Bug!
I really like something about this photograph of the plant in Hope, but can't quite put my finger on it. "Genuine" is a word that comes to mind. Or maybe I'm simply remembering the bright red VW Beetle I had in high school, and how fun...
Watermelons and Speckled Butter Beans
Hope's annual Watermelon Festival was held the weekend before last, and I can honestly say I've never heard of a speckled butter bean until I saw this picture: I think even I might have success catching a fish from here: These are not scarce in...
Happy Anniversary, Dwight!

Daily Photo If you have enjoyed a Klipsch product made in Hope dating from today back to the early 80s, you should thank these kind folks, because chances are, they had something to do with it. Sherry, caught here looking as annoyed as I do when someone...
Dilbert and Dwight Resurface! ...and Meet Roy, Horn Expert
Daily Photo The long lost ducks managed to curb their renegade ways and keep a lunch date with Roy Delgado at Hope's Amigo Juan's . Perhaps they are the inspiration for his next horn design? I have to assume the sad face is because the ducks had...
Meet Martin, Mill Supervisor, Hope, Arkansas
Daily Photo Hope be warned! Lurking among you is my shutterbug counterpart, assisting in camera ambushing at the factory. This friendly face belongs to Martin (pronounced Marteen), who is working on an RC-64 in the finishing department. Originally from...
