wiredinUSA February 2014

INDEX

There are some big numbers in this issue of wiredInUSA – not least Southwire's $786m purchase of Coleman Cable (page 9), and Time Warner Cable's $600m outlay for DukeNet Communications (page 12). While those two stories are, rightly, the lead ones, another number that deserves special mention is that of $18,629.65. That is the money raised by the annual charity week at Allied Wire & Cable, the most successful of eight charity weeks yet. That money has been split into two, with $9,214.83 going to the Human Society, which works on behalf of both domestic animals and wildlife through shelters, rehabilitation programs and legal advocacy. The remaining $9,214.83, plus an additional $200 donation from Rowe Industries, goes to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Everyone at Allied, and its customers, should be applauded for the efforts in supporting these worthwhile causes. The full story is on page 16 David Bell Editor #32 EDITOR
