I think Heathkit originally started in Benton Harbor, and then moved 
to St. Joseph when they needed a larger facility. They kept their 
Benton Harbor mailing address.
The company is now called Heathkit Company, not Heath Company. There 
is a Heath Company, not related, that makes office equipment. And 
there is also still the "Heath/Zenith" brand name, from the company 
at this rather strange URL:

My wife bought a "Heath/Zenith" door chime at a Lowe's store the 
other day. It was made in China.
