In June 1942 I came out of the Mission Field and since the
war had started there were no jobs available here. All who
could work had to go elsewhere. Most work was in the war
related industries. I went to school to learn the welding trade,
since there were no local welders here I was asked to do a few jobs.
The city needed some work done and also the county. Since I had
learned a few basics I took their jobs on. After finishing these
few small jobs I went into the ship yards for two years and into the
military for one year. After the war I came back and picked up
where I left off and was the only welder in the area for
several years. Since I was willing to try I learned to do what
others were afraid to do. Consequently I received a lot of
good advertising by word of mouth.
" If it can be done, He
can do it". I trained and taught welding in the College and
High School besides running my own business.
By taking
on every job that came along a good reputation has been
built. We are now the premiere shop of the area. We build
wrought iron, fabricated steel, weld and erect, weld stainless and
aluminum, and other exotics, do powder coating, welding repair,
specialty items, circular and straight stairs and railings, gates
custom cutting and fitting, sell concrete pre-cast, brating and
other related items. |
