Roethlisberger: "He was raised with old-fashioned, middle-America values."

Is that like Yankee ingenuity?

 

Or Southern hospitality?

 

Or Manifest Destiny (you Plains States don't come off so well).

Super Size my Biggie Fries.

Middle America valves.

Sloan Valves is right there in Franklin Park, Illinois. They make the Regal and Royal lines of manual and automatic flushometers.
