I am a third generation upholsterer and it was my grandfather who first got started in the business back in 1940. He learned a great skill back then and passed what he learned on to my father. In 1960 my father at the young age of 16 was making $75.00 a week. I know it does not sound like much now, but back then that was a lot. My father and I alike have never really done anything else. Well times have changed and there are now many people out there that call themselves upholsterers, but being a craftsman is not something that you can learn, its in your blood. My grandfather moved to central North Carolina in 1952 and the business has been going strong every since. I can say now with out a doubt, that my father and I are the best in the business today. |
