From inception in 1936, The Harper Company’s growth can be traced to the high caliber of personnel, whose dedication and integrity still characterize the company today. Mr. William L. Harper’s keen judge of character and concern for those he employed helped to place the company into its present highly respected position in the industry. Those who have followed are driven by the same pride and work ethics that have been the defining characteristic of the company since its first day of business.

Experience
