A NEW MILESTONE IN WOMEN’S ACCESSORIES--Designer Bibs

I took on a second job during my son Michael's college years at Penn State University, and he went on to earn a Masters Degree. While still at school, he started a company and made me an offer to go into business with him. That was 23 years ago, and now the company, American Made, LLC, is a $25 million corporation known worldwide. My current position there is Chief Operating Officer of their industrial liner division, American Made Liner Systems. When I began in 1983, I was dead broke ... and several years ago, I reached the millionaire status. Guess it is never too late to gain success and wealth.

My daughter Deborah Ann and I also started another business. She showed a flair for design and creative works of art, as well as the ability to organize and manage large projects of an industrial nature. So we formed Classic & Chic Gift Boutique ... bringing new and enticing innovative products to the consumer industry. She does most of the designing of the ideas we both have for new products; and my part is mostly providing the financial requirements. Deborah also can boast of her two handsome and talented sons, and


… and even though these are designer bibs for women, they do use them under suits and coats since they are so very lovely and attractive. And some of the women are even purchasing the plain darker colored ones in the neck loop style for their male relatives. We are also introducing a line of Bridal Bibs … some of which are one of a kind and can be purchased on site, while others will be custom made to match or coordinate with the wedding gown.
