Carroll Distr & Const Supply C

One of those unplanned success tales is Carroll Distributing & Construction Supply, Inc. In 1954, a chance meeting led to the founding of a new business selling concrete form ties in the Midwest. While visiting Colorado, Royce Carroll—who along with his brother Dick had a lumberyard in Ottumwa, Iowa—had a chance encounter with Gates & Sons, a brand-new producer of concrete form ties in Denver. To assist them promote themselves and market their innovative technology, Gates was looking for distributors all around the nation.
