The Basket Maker Behind USPS Carts, Hollywood Stunts, and Red Sox Celebrations

One company has been crafting durable American-made baskets for
over a century. Paul Lordan, second-generation owner of Steele
Canvas Basket Corp, shares how the company expanded beyond its
industrial roots, with its carts appearing in movies and even Red
Sox celebrations. The 2008 recession and COVID-19 forced the
company to adapt, leading to a thriving e-commerce business.
