Milton Magnus the third is the CEO of his family business. It was handed down to

him by his father and before that his grandfather.

How long did it take you to get the hang of your industry?

Well it's taken me 50 years to get the hang of my industry, but it's a good good industry.

Milton's business is making wire hangars. It's called M&B hangers.

And when you're not working, where do you hang out?

I hang out in Birmingham, Alabama at the lake.

And are there times when you feel like it's better to just hang back?

I've had those times for sure, I'm sure.

Do you have a favorite hanger joke?

As people actually how I'm doing, I tell them I'm hanging in there, so that's about it.

That's it, okay.

As you can tell, Milton is mostly humoring me because he takes wire

hangers pretty seriously. So seriously he's waged a more than 20 year trade war to

protect his American-made hangars from less expensive Chinese imports.

It just kind of made me sad to think that we were going to push all that to China

and do away with what my family has grown.

Is that what motivated you to start fighting?

It did.

And I felt honored that my father let me come into business with him,

and I was honored that my grandfather

stored the business and I wasn't going to let my business die on my watch.
