When we started, we were renting office space in a garage in West Port. There was no room for manufacturing. I sold the products, mainly custom window coverings. In those days, there was a huge network of people sewing from their homes in St. Louis. It was a cottage industry. -Les Finkelstein

Sometimes we'd have five people working on one order from their various homes, so there was a lot of transportation involved.
