Thanks for sharing. That is a great story. I'm all in with Mr. Hall's business model. M&A never works out well for anyone.

I remember reading this interesting article last year. Its interesting to note, that some of the orders placed at the time that article was published are just now being delivered. Thankfully, it seems like they are catching up a little. Or am I off base on that?

JH on manufacturing abroad or adding a discount line:

"I could do it with a phone call, but it dilutes the brand, the image of the company, the product," he said. "Beyond that, we need the work here. Why ship it off someplace else?"

That, my friends, is what is lacking in our country today.
