Abstract:
Robert L. Page's hobby was visiting flea markets looking for pieces of china.

It has grown from a one-man operation in 1981 to a business employing fifty-five in 1986. Sales are expected to exceed $5 million in 1986. In the same year Page was named North Carolina's Small Business Man of the Year.
