Jack Lonon Jr., president of the family-owned company, told The McDowell News on Thursday that the company’s assets will be sold to Spinrite Yarns of Canada. The sale will become final on Feb. 25. After that, the future of the business will be uncertain.

It seems strange that someone who employs 80 people is the "little guy". That's quite a few jobs. I always think of the "little guy" as small independent dyers. It almost feels like there is no room for the middle sized guy anymore. The two b's survive...big and boutique.
