Dave Felder and Associates Inc.

In April 1977, Dave Felder & Associates, Inc. was started at the home of Dave & Ruth Felder in Hope, AR. The garage was the warehouse, a bedroom with 1 desk was the office, and a few (very few) thousand dollars worth of chainsaw parts on the floor of a utility van was the starting inventory. Dave traveled Arkansas, east Texas, and North Louisiana in the van calling on chain saw dealers. Ruth stayed at home working at a hamburger joint part-time and shipped the few orders that were called in. The shipping area was the garage during the summer, and the kitchen bar in the winter. Six orders in one day was a busy day.

In 1979 it became necessary to expand. Up until then, only chain saw parts & accessories had been sold. The two-car garage was full of bars, chain, and sprockets. 12’ x 24’ portable building was purchased to store the lawn mower parts. This building was soon filled, so three semi-truck trailers were added for additional warehouse space.
