So, Which Company Did I Own?

When I posted "I Can Hold Back the Truth No More," and asked people to comment on which Bauer company I may be the proud owner of, one of them was J. Bauer Trucking out of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and most people chose that one.
Their thought was that I am on the road a lot.
Really, it was just a fun little exercise more than anything. The companies in question were the Bauer company that makes keys and locks and things, the Bauer Ladder Company, Bauer Built, J. Bauer Trucking, Bauer Tools, Bauer Skates and Eddie Bauer.
If you had guessed that I own none of these companies and have no affiliation with any of these companies—you would have been correct.
Like I said, it was just fun to see what people would associate with me. Thanks for playing along.

We had fun playing along. I took a sneak peek; and I see you have a camper post. Looking forward to reading that.

@LindaOHio We spent a partial night in it. Got some work to do on that mattress to make it through a full night. And still have to christen it as well.

So did you tally up each of the guesses to see which ones made the top 3? lol
Honestly, I had never heard of any of those companies except for Eddie Bauer. So you could have just made them all up and I would have never known the difference.

I did not tally anything up. Maybe I should have? lol
All of the names are pretty popular companies. I know Bauer Skates are big in hockey circles. Bauer locks and keys are big in the RV business. Bauer Tools are sold at Harbor Freight.
It was just a fun little exercise.

@porwest Oh yeah, I do know Bauer skates. How could I miss that one? I'm a huge hockey fan, I see the Bauer name plastered all over everything whenever I watch hockey on tv! I just didn't make the association.

Names, family names have similar. No wonder that anyone would the same name may be associated with anyone's business or whatever.
