Here
are a few showroom success stories that Hank Darlington has been privileged to
be a part of in his latest career.
I grew up in Pennsylvania…did college…more to play baseball than to study! Then
off to Officers training in the Army and served a couple of years. I was still
not sure what I wanted to do, so I went back to school (this time to study) and
got a Masters in business. Okay, now what? I guess it was time to get a job. My
dad worked for Raub Supply Co., Lancaster, PA, a plumbing, heating, electrical,
industrial wholesale distributor and he suggested I talk with the owners about
going to work for them. I did! They offered one of the first college-recruited
training courses in the industry. I believe there were five of us. Raub Supply
Co. was named Supply House Times’ Wholesaler of the Year in 1962.
