Talking Clean in a Dirty World
Business
Today we join Paul Noe at his retirement party held at GEM Supply in Lakeland, Florida. (pardon the background noise, but it was a party!)
Since 1978, Paul has been working with his family in the cleaning industry here in Lakeland, after leaving Pittsburg in 1977 when steel mills were closing.
Paul talks about how much money could be made, Back in the Day, by just taking on the cleaning jobs. In 1980/81, the family gave up the cleaning side of the business and focused just on selling supplies.
He tells about working weekends, and holidays and getting those 2-3 AM calls, not to mention the call on a Sunday afternoon during the football game!
NO ONE WILL HAVE HIS CELL # ANYMORE!
Paul reminisces about learning what a buffer was and how to "Buff the Floor" as the client wanted. Hey, that was in the days before GOOGLE!
Punch a time clock! Heck no, not in 40+ years.
There are just too many things we talked about as we tripped through Paul Noe's memories. You'll have to listen to catch them all.
However, we will tell you that he is leaving the continental US as soon as he can, that's his retirement plan.
Thank you, Paul Noe, for what you and your family have given the cleaning industry, your customers that became family, and the friends you made along the way.
