"When Thomas Brumby produced his first 'Jumbo' Rocker in 1875, he probably didn't suspect that he had created an American classic . . . If we lose the Brumby, we will lose a significant part of our history."

"You can't keep a good rocking chair out of production. A fact born out of the latest news concerning the Brumby Rocker.
"The Brumby Chair Company reopened its doors March 19, 1992 on the historic Marietta Square, resuming production of what some say is the sturdiest and most comfortable of all rockers.
"The reopening of the Brumby enterprise is significant not only because it marks the first time in 50 years that the Brumby family in Marietta has been involved in the production of their namesake. It is also the second return of the old rocker from the edge of extinction."
