The instant New York Times bestseller about one man's battle to save hundreds of jobs by demonstrating the greatness of American business. The Bassett Furniture Company was once the world's biggest wood furniture manufacturer. Run by the same powerful Virginia family for generations, it was also the center of life in Bassett, Virginia. But beginning in the 1980s, the first waves of Asian competition hit, and ultimately Bassett was forced to send its production overseas. One man fought back: John Bassett III, a shrewd and determined third-generation factory man, now chairman of Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Co, which employs more than 700 Virginians and has sales of more than $90 million. In Factory Man, Beth Macy brings to life Bassett's deeply personal furniture and family story, along with a host of characters from an industry that was as cutthroat as it was colorful. As she shows how he uses legal maneuvers, factory efficiencies, and sheer grit and cunning to save hundreds of jobs, she also reveals the truth about modern industry in America.Binding Type: Hardcover

My kitchen sink finally looks intentional
I finally upgraded my kitchen sink setup with the Havara Dish Soap Dispenser and it is such a mood. I was so tired of having a messy plastic soap bottle and a soggy sponge just sitting on the counter. This dispenser completely fixes that while looking incredibly chic.
The granite resin material is high quality and has a nice weight to it, so it doesnt slide around when I am using it. It has a sleek minimalist vibe that makes the whole area look more polished and put together. I love that it is designed for one handed use because it makes washing dishes so much faster and less of a chore. You just press down with the sponge and it dispenses the perfect amount of soap every time.
It is a small change but it makes my daily routine feel much more elevated. The non slip base is a great touch and the built in sponge holder keeps everything organized and dry. If you want to get rid of the kitchen clutter and give your sink a mini makeover, this is definitely the way to do it. I am really happy with how it looks and functions!

blends in with decor and is very functional
This Havara Kitchen Soap Dispenser looks great on my kitchen sink. Not only does it look good, it's also very functional. Filling the soap dispenser is very easy and straight forward. It fits my sponges well. It's a bit heavier than expected, but this allows it to stay in place easier. Overall, it's very sturdy and functional. Great value for the money.
