Archbold’s conservative values likely to work in Romney’s favor
Archbold is and always has been a conservative community with a manufacturing base that belies its small-town feel. Storefronts line the town’s main strip, a family-owned motel on the north edge of town has a buzzing neon sign that welcomes weary travelers, and old farmers still regularly gather at their usual haunts to sip coffee and chew the fat over the topic of the day. But factories such as Sauder Woodworking, ConAgra Foods, and Frozen Specialties employ thousands. And with about 4,300 residents, Archbold is one of the rare places where jobs outnumber people.
