ESTABLISHING AN IDENTITY

摘要

STEEPED in agriculture, the Tarters did what many families do: They turned their passion into their vocation. But when C.V. Tarter founded Dunnville, Ky.-based Tarter Gate in 1945, his first thought may not have been of marketing plans and business strategies. His goal likely was simpler than that - to peddle his handmade gates and fences to local farmers. Over time the company has evolved, making not only wooden gates and fences, but also products made from metal pipe - pipe that the company produces itself with its three tube mills.
