Last year I engaged an export seller so that I do not need travelling so much but can devote myself to the production, which really needs much time, and in which by the way I also take the greatest interest. The quality of Bruyere which we use is very expensive, and I examine myself each block. From these I pick the very best ones which are about 5 percent. These 5 p.c. I work up myself like 20 years ago, using some of my best people to do the rougher work while I myself do the molding and the finish. During the work at least half of the lot is taken away because of various faults in the wood while the rest ends as Preben Holm private collection. Those approximately 2 p.c. of our total production I put my signature on with a good conscience. | Last year I engaged an export seller so that I do not need travelling so much but can devote myself to the production, which really needs much time, and in which by the way I also take the greatest interest.

But I learned that he made several lines outside the Ben Wade contract pipes he was producing for Snug Harbor/Lane." | |||
