Curtis Lumber Co. Inc.

Since 1946, Wiley Bros., Inc. has been a Capital Region leader in the supply of quality lumber and building materials to homeowners and contractors alike. In 1946, Henry S. Truman was president of the United States, thousands of men were still streaming home form World War II, and a pound of nails cost five cents at Wiley Brothers Coal, Feed, Lumber, and Hardware. Wiley Bros. is still in business. 2006 marked Wiley Bros.' 60th year and although hardware goliaths like (Lowe's and Home Depot) have long since pitched their tents, Wiley's manages to hold its own and grow. In 1945, two farm boys turned soldiers marched home from war torn Europe. Abbott Wiley was an artillery officer with the 91st Infantry Division in Italy. Harold Wiley, Abbott's younger brother was a B-17 bomber pilot. Home looked good, but with millions being discharged from the armed forces, job prospects didn't. However, it just so happened that Ryan and McMahon, a feed and coal business in Valley Falls wanted to sell out. After working there for a few weeks, the Wiley brothers managed to get financing and purchased the business. The brothers ran a relatively smooth operation for beginners. Perhaps part of their success rested on great military training. "I went into the military a private and came out a major, so I did have some responsibility. I had a hundred men under me. There's no question the army taught me leadership, " Abbott said.
