SALES PROGRESS THROUGH BETTER DISTRIBUTION
In 1963, Kelly Supply was recognized for it's 25 year relationship with Gates Rubber Company. Martin Kelly, pictured above center, accepted the award from two as-yet-unidentified Gates representatives. We're hoping to put names to their faces, and if anyone out there has that information, we encourage you to share it with us via the comment box below.
Our long history with the Gates Rubber Company serves to remind us at the Kelly Supply Company that family, friendships, and quality relationships make for good business. While there are certainly other ways to run a successful business, we're glad we've found such a pleasant one that works for us!
