Included in this presentation is astounding contribution by Swedish men who created the furniture factory infrastructures by taking high risks with their ingenuity, creativeness, and determination. This presentation is about all aspects of furniture making which contribute to the activities of growing Rockford; yet in the 20th century there were key factors that caused a massive factory decline.
