摘要

Q. What's the history of A & C? When started? Where? By whom? A&C was started in Houston, TX in 1973 by Carolyn & Myrl Faulk. Carolyn taught school during the day and worked on the A&C Books at night while Myrl called customers found in the yellow pages. Starting out, they had no inventory. Myrl would sell a job and to fill the order, he would buy it from a local competitor. All profit was used to slowly build inventory. Carolyn bought Myrl's shares in 1987. Today, A&C stocks over $8 million in 3 locations.
