Egg Family Heritage
In the Spring and innocence of 1941, Theron John Egg formed Theron Egg Plumbing in Soda Springs Idaho. It was a less complicated time before World War II and just as the country was emerging from the long night of the Great Depression and things were better. Even the phone number of the new business was simple... just dial "100" and you'd get Theron Egg's Plumbing, operated out of a small store front in downtown Soda Springs.
Through hard work and excellent service, the business flourished, even at a time when most services weren't much more than four bits. In fact, since Mr. Egg was the only plumber for miles in every direction and served as such an integral part of the local economy, the U.S. Government deferred his service during the war since drafting him would cause a tremendous hardship on the people of the area. |
