The key to longevity?

"The company has always been family owned, but not always by the same family. I think, sometimes in family businesses, when you get to the third or fourth generation, there's an expectation by the kids that they're going to work there. The kids may need the company more than the company needs the kids, and that's when you see family businesses start to go down in quality."
– Hugh D. Mason, president
