Discover the incredible true story of how one of history's most successful potato farmers began life as a slave and worked until he was named the "Potato King of the World" Junius G. Groves came from humble beginnings in the Bluegrass State. Born in Kentucky into slavery, freedom came when he was still a young man and he intended to make a name for himself. Along with thousands of other African Americans who migrated from the South, Junius walked west and stopped in Kansas. Working for a pittance on a small potato farm was no reason to feel sorry for himself, especially when he's made foreman. But Junius did dream of owning his own farm, so he did the next best thing. He rented the land and worked hard As he built his empire, he also built a family, and he built them both on tons and tons and tons of potatoes. He never quit working hard, even as the naysayers doubted him, and soon he was declared Potato King of the World and had five hundred acres and a castle to call his own. From award winning author Tonya Bolden and talented illustrator Don Tate comes a tale of perseverance that reminds us no matter where you begin, as long as you work hard, your creation can never be called small potatoes.Binding Type: Hardcover

Wow! If they make this for your car BUY IT!
Style: HCC2122-X
I was surprised to see a reusable cabin air filter listing for my car. I didn't know such a thing existed. And they're the same price as a name brand disposable. I hate sending things off to the landfill, so being able to wash and re-use this, even if it breaks down after a few washings, is still saving the landfill and my pocket book. Quality feels excellent. Fit is tight, but with a bit of persistence it squeezes in. Sure, I realize this won't have the same micron level as a disposable, but, I routinely open doors and windows, and these filters area about catching the big stuff for me - not the molecules I can't see and get blown in as I enter/exit anyway. Super quality piece, I wish there was a fitment available for all my cars. I'm definitely keeping my eye out!

Size fit, well made and washable!!!
Style: HCC1017-X
After buying filters for ever, I came across this product. Well, why not? Washable? I got two so I can use the other after washing one. The filter fit inside the holder, it was a bit tight but fit for my 2006 Toyota Highlander. It is definitely more dense than regular filters, very well made. I will be looking now for a washable engine filter too.

2 piece filters but perfect fit
Style: HCC2143-X
It's a 2 piece filter, which seems strange but...the 2 filters fit perfectly side by side. Both filters have a loop to help with removal for cleaning. Just installed and haven't driven or used a/c yet. Hopefully the filters breath well.
