It was 1955 in Springfield, Massachusetts when Harry Marcus of Marcus Tile realized that he was picking up as much tile at the two distributors in Hartford, Connecticut for other contractors in Springfield as he was for himself.
There were no distributors in Springfield, making it necessary for Harry to go to Hartford just about every day to pick up tile for his four man team of installers. Harry and his wife, Mollie decided that it was time to go into the distribution business for themselves. The foundation for the East Coast Tile family was born when the Marcuses decided to sell their installation business and partner with the Wenczel Tile Company to open up Standard Tile Distributors in August of 1956. | |
