I have the following code to loop over all products and echo the sku and manufacturer, but $manu is always blank, even though I do get the sku correctly.

```
private function organize() {
    $products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
    foreach ($products as $product) {
        $sku = $product->getSku();
        $manu = $product->getAttributeText('manufacturer');
        // The following also doesn't work
        //$manu = $product->getResource()->getAttribute('manufacturer')->getFrontend()->getValue($product);
        echo $sku." - ".$manu."\n";
    }
}

```

This is running as a command line script extending from Mage\_Shell\_Abstract

What could be wrong with my code?
