" Over the last thirty years, Virtucon  
has grown by leaps and bounds. About  
fifteen years ago, we changed from  
volatile chemicals to the  
communication industry. We own cable  
companies in thirty-eight states.  
In addition to our cable holdings,  
we own a steel mill in Cleveland.  
Shipping in Texas.  
Oil refineries in Seattle.  
And a factory in Chicago that makes  
miniature models…of factories." 😃
