R.S. Monger & Sons, Inc. (Mongers) started business in the late spring of 1922 by selling sand and lumber. After graduating from Bridgewater college, Ralph Showalter (R.S.) Monger and two other employees sold, loaded, and delivered the materials to the Shenandoah Valley. Later, coal and other building materials would be added to the inventory. The materials were stored in a 30’ x 60’ building and were delivered by horse-drawn wagons. |
