Abstract:

Disston, Inc. of Greensboro is a 140-year-old company with a strong reputation for making quality hand and circular saws and other hardware products. However, by the mid-1980s the company had fallen on hard times and was losing money. Seymour recounts how Hank Libby joined the company, turned it around, and made it profitable again.
