Hustler!!!

G. B. Page started his business in 1930 with a single truck and a drive to succeed. In those days, a 110-foot yacht named Haida used to dock off the wharf in Santa Barbara. Whenever the Haida was expected in, the laundry trucks would line up and wait at the wharf, hoping for a share of the shipmates' laundry. Impatient, and wanting to distinguish himself from the crowd, one day Page decided to row a small boat out to meet the ship before it docked. Impressed by his initiative, the Captain invited Page aboard. As a result of that meeting, Mr. Page secured arrangements for Haida's laundry requirements. He went on to build his business based on the same determination and enterprise, not only managing to attract new customers but retaining them as well. It's that philosophy of innovation and service that still characterizes Mission Linen Supply today.
