Abstract:

In 1970, Bob Page went with some friends to a flea market to help them find missing pieces to their china set. t was here that Page had the idea to start Replacements, Ltd., selling discontinued china and crystal. The first file cabinet in his new endeavor was a recipe box with three-by-five note cards; by 1981 he had quit his job and officially started the business in a small house in Greensboro. In 1986, Page was named North Carolina Small Business Person of the Year. By then, he had over fifty-five employees, a half a million pieces of china, and fifteen thousand different patterns.
