In 1927, in the small town of Spencer, our founder E.P. Arnold, embarked on an entrepreneurial journey with a simple yet innovative idea, using just a box on the back of a '27 Chevy. This marked the beginning of what would become Arnold Motor Supply, a testament to vision and perseverance. Our Managing Partner, Eric Johnson, offers an in-depth look into the history of Arnold Motor Supply and its significant ties to the community of Spencer. Thank you to the Historic Preservation Commission - City of Spencer and Spencer Municipal Utilities for organizing and hosting this series of lectures. https://lnkd.in/gMGb5aPx
