I never knew that Jess Reprogle worked for the Monon until I started this employee research. He was a real ICON in Monon. Everyone wanted one of his rugs. They were made from discarded nylon hose. Cookie's wife had a white rug that was made from white nurse's hose that she discarded and it was pretty.
