America likes to believe that it produces men and women who embody values of faith, work, charity and family. People like this are rare, and when they pass among us, their story is worth telling.
The Quiet Icon is an inspirational read about the life of Robert E. Chesebro, Jr., a shy introvert who became an American success story. Through creativity, perseverance and dedication, Bob Chesebro kept a third generation family business viable in an era of on-line shopping and “big box” store competition. The company, Wigwam Mills, manufactures quality socks and other wool garments. Yet many say its best products are the people, communities and charities that both Wigwam Mills and Bob Chesebro have influenced.
The names Chesebro and WigwaM Mills are nearly synonymous. Thousands of people admit that either the company, or the man, changed their lives for the better.
The Quiet Icon Book Reviews
Another great book by Jon Helminiak. I did not know the history of Wigwam Mills and found it most interesting. Love to see a long-standing company with great values and contribution to their community. Wish there were more people like Bob Chesebro and his family. Our world would be in a much better place. Thanks for sharing the story.
