Our Rich Heritage Our firm has been in existence for nearly sixty years. It first started with Mr. Clippard back in 1951, who managed the business for a total of thirteen years. Afterward, Carl Collins came in and took over the operations and built a strong business centered on trust and integrity. After managing the business for thirteen years as well, he surrendered to full-time Christian service in Phoenix, Arizona ministering to Indians at the American Indian Bible Institute. Carl knew he wanted the business to maintain the same level of service when he asked an old college roommate, Dalton Hills, to take over the practice in 1977.
