A Chat with April’s Profile, A.G. Russell and Goldie Russell, president and CEO, A.G. Russell Knives

CS: Now you say you dropped from nearly $1 million in 1980 to less than $250,000 in 1984.
A.G.: Actually it was ‘79. I dropped 40 percent in 1980 alone because I wasn’t working. And then in ‘81, ‘82, ‘83 it was the same thing. Then in ‘85, we grew and by ‘88 we were at $1 million again.

CS: And now the company is at about $15 million?
A.G.: Goldie can give better numbers, but yes.
