Rose Furniture cared, gave to community
As Rose Furniture prepares to close its doors after 81 years of business and service, I would like to say a public "thank you" to my good friends Jean and Bill Kester, to the entire Kester family, and to the Rose Furniture employees for their support of our community, and of our United Way in particular.
Over the years, the corporate leadership and personal philanthropy of this family and their employees have enriched Greater High Point in innumerable ways, and we are grateful for their generosity and compassion.
Like so many others in our community, they chose to share their blessings with others, and what a wonderful difference it has made.
At this difficult time, we thank them, and wish them all good luck and Godspeed on their new journeys.

Another downside of globalization.
My heart goes out to the employees at Rose Furniture. A local company that tries to follow the rules, but loses the game.
If our country was not currently owned by countries in Asia, we could have made tariffs to furniture coming into the states. (since those countries tariff all out our products)
