The manufacturer makes shoes under the label "Beacon USA".  I would
like contact info in order to ask them to reconsider a line they've
discontinued.

Hello,

I didn't find anything searching on Beacon USA. I did, however,
stumble upon a Beacon Shoe Company. Could this be the company you're
looking for?
Perhaps you can use this contact info to confirm. Please ask for
clarification if this is not the right place.

Beacon Shoe Company
213 LIONS ESTATES DR 
JONESBURG,  MO  63351-1908 

(636) 488-5444 phone
(636) 488-3103  fax

The web site below helped me track them down:

I was very pleased.  The answer came in less than 24 hours, and I
hadn't been able to locate it anywhere myself.  Best of all, the
researcher told me the website on which s/he had found it, so that I
would know how to have access to that kind of information myself.  As
a university teacher, I am highly appreciative of that approach.  Many
thanks.
