Why a Laporte website can’t be generic
Laporte dates from 1850, which gives it more than a century and a half of history behind it. History cuts both ways for a small business: the old names are known, and the new ones have to explain themselves faster. If your family has served Laporte for a while, say so plainly and prove it with photos of the shop over the years.
