Wednesday I answered a question about starting a business in tough times. My son, Bill Jr., started a part-time cleaning service with $20 in capital and one customer. The economic climate was as bad as the weather and it was 5 degrees below zero that morning.
That humble beginning has grown into our company as it is today. Never in my wildest imagination on that cold Sunday morning could I have dreamed of the vast number of lives this little venture would touch over the next half century.
Today, our carpet cleaning division services thousands of central Indiana customers and we ship merchandise to professional cleaners in all fifty states and fifteen foreign countries on five continents. Is America great, or what?
