The Quiet Icon

By Jon Helminiak

America likes to believe that it produces men and women who embody values of faith, work, charity, and family. People like this are rare, and when they pass among us, their story is worth telling.

The Quiet Icon is an inspirational read about the life of Robert E. Chesebro, Jr., a shy introvert who became an American success story. Through creativity, perseverance, and dedication, Bob Chesebro kept a third-generation family business viable in an era of on-line shopping and "big box" store competition. The company, Wigwam Mills, manufactures quality socks and other wool garments. Yet may say its best products are the people, communities, and charities that both Wigwam Mills and Bob Chesebro have influenced.

The names Chesebro and Wigwam Mills are nearly synonymous. Thousands of people admit that either the company, or the man, changed their lives for the better.
