Disston
Henry Disston started selling handcrafted saws from a rented Philadelphia cellar in 1840. Disston expanded his business to become the world's largest saw maker despite obstacles such as mishaps and confiscating his equipment in a rent conflict during his first couple of years in business. A foresighted manufacturer and marketer created things that others tried to imitate. After years, the company is still thriving owing to the saws that are of the best quality.
