In 1934, a young entrepreneur by the name of Thomas Norman Maxwell started a plumbing and heating supply company in the mining boomtown of Butte, Mont.
He quickly learned to appreciate the advantages of commitment, unparalleled customer service and value. Now in its fourth generation, M&L Supply Co. still is a family-owned enterprise guided by these original principles. Its current headquarters, which opened in 1956 in Spokane, Wash., serves eastern Washington and northern Idaho. The Montana location is in its 80th year.
