Question

3at first, he did not sell many duck commanders. he made $8,000 during his first year, but that was not enough money to take care of his wife and four children. still, phil did not give up. he began the duck commander company in 1973. he used his home for a factory and his family helped him make, package, and ship all the calls. he also made videos of himself explaining and showing how to use the duck calls. some television networks saw his videos and thought that the family would make an interesting reality television show. today, each member of the robertson family stars in the extremely popular reality show, duck dynasty. his company is now worth millions of dollars!
