Although a young man, being less
than 80 years of age, Mr.. Ward ras
experience that might go we'll with
a man twice his age, and his natural
ability for the work and in handling
his force of men has placed his com
pany in its present position of pros
perity. About two years ago the
business was enlarged and incorporat-
ed. Mr.. Ward holds the offices of
president, treasurer and general man
ager, and as indicated, controls the
stock.
To look back over the years it does
not seem possible that in so short a
time this business could possibly have
reached the proportion it has now.
The writer remembers Earl Ward
sitting beside his father on one of the
then two or three wagons conStituc-
ing the business of his father on the
East Broad street stand, and then to
see him now in his finely appointed
offices at III South Champion, with
stenographer, bookkeeper, etc. With
three or four large structures to the
credit of his company, and with per
sonal realty of no mean dimensions,
with a growing business and a score
of workmen, it means simply and
purely that strict application to the
matter in hand and doing that work
better than someone else and at a
moderate price, has had its reward
and that Mr.. Ward is now reaping
the benefits of his strenuous, hard
working apprentice days.
