Samson is the owner of Samson Upholstery in St. Paul and has been in business for many years. With his grant, Samson had the foresight to buy a new sewing machine just days before the old one broke down. This wise move prevented Samson from losing any business while the old machine was being repaired. Now that both sewing machines are working, he has increased his business capacity and ability to hire more employees.
