“My grandfather would have wanted us to
celebrate our own momentous achievements side by side with those plumbers
achieving the same impressive mark, especially because he built the company on
relationships with loyalty to plumbing contractors and wholesalers,” said Ila
Lewis, chairman of the board and granddaughter of company founder Max Gerber.
Gerber is asking all plumbing contracting firms that have been in business for
75 years or more to participate in the campaign, regardless of whether they
have ever been Gerber users. Eligible firms can complete a brief entry form at www.gerber75years.com
between May 15 and Sept. 15, 2007, or fill out a printed entry form available
from their nearest Gerber wholesaler or rep.
Every
plumbing contracting firm that submits company information will be contacted by
Gerber for additional facts, interesting anecdotes, photos and/or other
information.
