Im not sure whose on the other end of this representing Almstead. I'll start off by saying I worked for them for 3.5 years and Mr. A., Mike A., and Ken A., are great people. So the story goes Richard Almstead started his company in 1964 with the family station wagon some saws, some rope, and lots of ambition. His moto was to give his cutomers more then they expected and they will remain customers.
