Mr L W Packard had the two Ashland tennis courts built many years ago, and they were rebuilt in about 1974, and are still in very good condition and usable today.

So, while the 300 good paying, wool factory jobs, and the wool mill machinery has gone to China, the L W Packard website and two L W Packard tennis courts still remain. Something to be thankfull for, what-the-heck, and absolutely no one in Ashland hardly ever plays any tennis from what I've seen.

For just 15-bucks at Wal-Mart, you can get yourself a raquet and tennis balls and go play free Ashland tennis on a Tuesday or something, like you are the owner of the great big wool mill........is this a great country or what?
