2000 Earnings: $438,000,000

TRW is kind of a stealthy company. In fact, they wouldnt even let me on to their campus. That's partly because they do a lot of top secret projects for the government involving satellites and electronics. But they also make airbags for cars and other automotive components.

Key Bank has a very impressive headquarters in downtown Cleveland that looks like the Empire State Building. It is America's 12th largest bank. But their presence is kind of scattered around the Midwest and Northwestern U.S. See Close-up... | | Eaton Corporation |  | Eaton Corporation

Progressive is a cool insurance with a cool headquarters. They definitely have a cause and their big innovation is providing on site assessment of damages when car accidents happen. This reduces paperwork tremendously. See Close-up... | | Sherwin-Williams |  | Sherwin-Williams

Sherwin-Williams does one thing: Paint. They are known for their Sherwin-Williams chain of stores where they sell their own paints. Although have probably been getting a beating from Home Depot, they own such brands a Thompson, Minwax and Dutch Boy. See Close-up... | | Parker Hannifin |  | Parker Hannifin

Parker Hannifin is a company I have barely heard of, but they make thousands of little but highly engineered components. These components are used in cars, airplanes, industrial equipment, and who knows what else. See Close-up... | | LTV Corporation |  | LTV Corporation

Cleveland, Ohio 44114 | 2000 Sales: $4,934,000,000
2000 Earnings: $-719,000,000

Nope, LTV is not a TV company. Actually it is a steel company. I think 4th largest in the U.S. And like all other steel companies in the U.S., they are hurtin under the strain of much cheaper foreign steel. See Close-up... | | OfficeMax |  | OfficeMax

Cleveland, Ohio 44122 | 2000 Sales: $5,156,000,000
2000 Earnings: $-133,000,000
www.officemax.com |
OfficeMax always plays 3rd fiddle to Office Depot and Staples who always seem to have better presence branding and marketing than OfficeMax. And with all three of them in the same market, it can get kind of crowded. See Close-up... | | National City |  | National City

2000 Earnings: $1,302,000,000

National City seems kind of a low profile and unimpressive bank. But with a thousand branches throughout the Midwest, they must be better known to some people than they are to me. See Close-up... | | American Greetings |  | American Greetings

American Greetings is the other giant in the greeting cards industry behind Hallmark Cards. So if you turn the card over and it's not a Hallmark, chances are it is American Greetings. See Close-up... |
