DESCRIPTION:
"It all started back in 1976, when we ordered our first bale of stuffing. The day of its arrival, a world of wonder arrived at our door. Wonder why no one told us it weighed 500 pounds? Wonder how we're going to roll this up the stairs? Wonder if we should cut this open, right here in the living room? Well, the moment we cut those strings, a living room in Berkeley, California became the Original Basic Brown Bear Factory. We sat stuffing with family and friends and we’ve all been stuffing ever since. Here we are 30 years later going strong with America's Only Real Working Teddy Bear Factory. Come by and see us. We hope your Original Basic Brown Bear experience brings you as much joy as it's brought us."
