圣诞节快乐.
心情像一首歌.
你的泪光 柔弱中带伤
惨白的月弯弯 勾住过往
夜太漫长 凝结成了霜
是谁在阁楼上冰冷的绝望
雨轻轻淌 朱红色的窗
我一生在纸上 被风吹乱
梦在远方 化成一缕霞
随风飘散 你的模样
惨白的月弯弯 勾住过往
夜太漫长 凝结成了霜
是谁在阁楼上冰冷的绝望
雨轻轻淌 朱红色的窗
我一生在纸上 被风吹乱
梦在远方 化成一缕霞
随风飘散 你的模样
It all started back in 1994, when
the company's founders Brad Holes and Nancy Buckles made the career
leap from sales rep execs to plush bear manufacturers /
wholesalers. Their Chicago-based sales rep organization, High
Expectations, was highly successful, but, through a series of
opportunities, the pair knew the time was right to embark on a new
venture: launching their own wholesale plush bear company.
After developing their first plush product line and setting up a diverse distribution channel, they set up their headquarters office in the Chicago suburb of Lombard. From the beginning, Brad and Nancy were confident that they had a winning combination: Brad's business acumen coupled with Nancy's design and marketing background were destined to make First & Main plush line a success.

From the beginning, Brad and Nancy were confident that they had a winning combination: Brad's business acumen coupled with Nancy's design and marketing background were destined to make First & Main plush line a success.
The company started out with just
a few product styles - mostly plush teddy bears, but with each year
the business grew beyond their own expectations. They soon earned
an industry reputation of producing attractive plush products at
extremely competitive wholesale prices - a niche they embraced and
honed over the years.
Determined to stay close to the
creative side of the business, the entrepreneurs made room at the
company's headquarters for an on-site studio that continues to
operate today. This operation allows Nancy and her design team to
create prototypes of all their product styles, giving them more
control in developing patterns, calculating material consumption
and specifying materials. Their strong commitment to staying on top
of emerging design trends enables them to experiment with new
materials and techniques, while coming up with exciting looks for
their plush teddy bear and plush animal product line.
First & Main's innovative
in-house studio and business office employees work closely with the
company's joint-venture factory in China and several other
factories overseas to manufacture several hundred product SKU's,
which can be found in the company's quarterly 100-page
catalog.
The company recently opened a new
60,000 square-foot warehouse facility in nearby Aurora, Illinois.
The facility utilizes cutting-edge software and equipment so that
customer orders are processed and shipped even more efficiently and
accurately than ever before. The new facility is also expected to
help First & Main begin integrating new product venues to
enhance their core plush bear product line and give retailers and
consumers a better variety - and start a new page in the First
& Main success story.
