Did you read the article on Bell Mirror & Glass Celebrating our 50 Years in Business in Wednesday May 8th's Wichita Eagle! You can find the full article here, http://goo.gl/8mOau.
Here's an excerpt from the article:
"Ruth Bell can't help tearing up a little when talking about the business she and her husband started 50 years ago this week. After all, with three of her children working beside her today, Bell Mirror & Glass epitomizes the idea of a family business. 'I remember sitting on a carpeted table drilling holes when I was 5 or 6,' said Ruth's son Mike.
Dean Bell, who passed away in 2000, had been working for an even older competitor, when he decided to go out on his own. 'To better ourselves,' Ruth Bell, the company president, said of the move. 'We got tired of working for the other guy.'
Started in a barn on North Ride Road, Bell Mirror & Glass bought out another competitor and moved to West Douglas in the Delano neighborhood in 1966.
Today, the business custom-cut glass and mirrors for homes and businesses -- storm windows that need replacing, jewelry and trophy display cases, colored mirrors with beveled edges and other products as well. The showroom featured examples of one of the biggest trends in the industry -- glass enclosed showers."
