Francis and Rupert Haley have been the "brothers" of Haley Bros., sash and door wholesale jobber specialty firm, Santa Monica, California, and partners since the death in l95O of their father, \V. K. Haley, and retirement of his brother, R. R. Haley. Actually, they are the third genera- tion Haley Bros., which started in St. John, N. B.

The Southern California firm was established in Santa Monica in 1923. Both Haley boys grew up in it at the same location it now stands. Francis actively entered the business in 1931 and Rupert in 1938. Haley Bros. rvas operated purely as a jobber to lumberyards until l94I-42, rvhen they entered into various phases of light woodworking and established their own mill facilities. Since the war, they have done considerable of their own manufacturing, especially sash and custom millwork.

Their employment has kept building all the time anil is now at a peak with 70 fulltime employes. Haley Bros. started slab door manufacture in 1952 and added 25 people then. The firm's personnel has practically doubled every year since. Four of the present employes have been with Haley Bros. since the start in 1923. Arthur "Dave" Davidson, formerly u'ith Hammond, has been a Haley salesman for more than 20 years. He is well known among oldtimers in the industry and "We are proud he's still active and to have him with us," says Francis Haley.
