| Publisher Description: Haferman and Stark, Inc beat all the odds when it comes to small business. The four partners, Erwin, Howard, and Lawrence Haferman along with Herbert Stark, built an aggregate and road contracting business that lasted 44 years. Their success was attributed largely to honest work and loyal employees. Haferman and Stark, Inc. began in 1928 and endured the Great Depression, numerous wars, severe weather, and countless setbacks. By the time the four partners sold the business in 1972, there was a lot of history to be told. This book recounts the story of Haferman and Stark, Inc., a business which began in a horse-drawn society and persevered into the space age. |
