Nine months later they were ready to start production. They had used all of their capital. They made a deal to produce product for another company on a tole arrangement. This arrangement lasted for two years. This was enough time for this little startup to get a salesmen on the road and start selling branded product. With two years of history raw material suppliers were willing to extend terms that allowed this little startup to expand.this business soon expanded to double it's size.it stayed in the old building for sixteen years. During this time a capable workforce had been developed and it left Yankee and Redneck to explore options on putting the business in a better habitat.
A piece of property was purchased a short distance from the existing plant. With the sixteen year history of a successful operation and the purchased property a loan was secured to build a new plant. Redneck made that his job for the next year.the new plant was completely modern in all respect. It performed perfectly as designed. There was people to handle the day to day task of producing product. Yankee could handle the business end of the business without help. That left Redneck free to do what he did best. That was to develope ideas that had long lay dormant. Through trial and error new products were developed and introduced in the marketplace.
This business is now 34 years old. It has paid all of the money that it has borrowed.it has furnished jobs for up to forty employees. It still has employees that started with company. It is the oldest company of its kind that isn't owned by a foreign based company. This is what it means to be American.
