In 1980 Harold Griffith was hired by Gates Supply to remodel offices for its
parent company Gates Engineering Company. When that job was completed he was
retained in the shipping and receiving department for the engineering supply
part of Gates Supply. Leslie C. Gates sold Gates Engineering Company to a large
engineering company called Ebasco which had 3-floors rented in the World Trade
Center. Harold then remained on staff and drove a truck to deliver supplies and
printing which Gates Supply manufactured to Ebasco's offices in the World Trade
Center and offices in the Atlanta, Ga. area. Mr.
Gates purchased Gates Supply back from Ebasco sometime around 1985. Again,
Harold was retained and served as purchasing and installation manager for Gates
Supply and a new commercial design entity called Space III. In 1988 Harold
approached the Gates family about purchasing the assets of Gates Supply. With
the assistance of Harold's father-in-law, John W. Cook, Jr. and his wife
Dianna,  a business plan was developed, and monies were obtained to purchase
Gates Supply. On October 18, 1988, Harold W. Griffith, Inc. was organized and
started doing business as Gates Supply.

After 36 years we have not looked back and have developed a great business
relationship with the Coal, Surveying, Architecture, and Engineering businesses
in a 4-state area.
