An aspiring young entrepreneur, David borrowed $1000 and asked a New York tool distributor to let him place a telephone on one of the empty desks at the office. After gaining some measure of success, David opened his first metalworking tool distribution office at 5 Court Square in Long Island City, New York. Because many of his customers did not pronounce his last name correctly, David Trevas named his company Travers Tool Co., Inc. Seymour Trevas started working for his father in the 1930s. In the 1940s, Travers Tool was honored by receiving the coveted Navy E Award (for excellence) as a navy subcontractor. In the 1950s, Travers Tool relocated to 10-23 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City. In 1967, under the leadership of Barry Zolot, Seymour's son-in-law, the first Travers Tool mail order Master Catalog was created. This move served as a catalyst for significant growth for the company. In 1974, Travers Tool purchased and moved into a , 2-story facility at 25-26 50th Street in Woodside, New York. As business grew throughout the 1980s, Travers Tool moved into a larger facility at 128-15 26th Avenue, Flushing, New York and built a warehouse in Duncan, South Carolina. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Travers Tool」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
