Fourth-Generation Descendants Guide Alvin Hollis & Company

摘要

On march 17,1871, in South Weymouth, Massachusetts, Alvin Hollis distributed a flyer to prospective customers that stated his company would "deliver ice by careful and attentive drivers three times per week in warm weather." Today, the flyer is displayed on the wall of Alvin Hollis & Company operated by the founder's descendants, who still employ careful and attentive drivers. However, instead of delivering ice by horse and wagon, they distribute fuel oil with Volvo trucks and cargo tanks fabricated by Boston Steel & Manufacturing Company. Vehicles may have changed, but the service philosophy begun by their great-grandfather remains in place.
