When we started our DPH showroom business in the early 1980s I knew location would be a key to success.
We ended up renting a much larger space (10,000 sq. ft.) than we needed or wanted, but it was on a six-lane busy freeway with great visibility. Back then there were only three main decorative faucet lines (Artistic Brass, Phylrich and the Broadway Collection). The main fixture manufacturers (Kohler, American Standard, Eljer and Crane) still were mainly white and chrome in the products they sold and produced.
