Betsy Ross was widowed three times. Her first husband John died in a gunpowder explosion during the Revolution. She remarried, was widowed again, remarried again, and buried that husband too. Through it all, she kept her upholstery business running.
Ross didn't have the luxury of giving up. She had to support herself and later her children through skill, determination, and sheer persistence. She worked until she was past 75 years old, long after most of her contemporaries had retired.
At {BUSINESS_NAME}, we know something about persistence. Business isn't always easy, and {CITY} has seen its share of challenges. But like Ross, we show up, we do the work, and we keep going.
America's 250th celebrates those who persist through personal hardship.
