Readers tell us they really enjoy this feature, but some of the newer members of our industry have no idea who these people were that roamed our canyons and corridors during those ancient times, 30, 40, 50 years ago. So, sprinkled among the antiquated Matthew Bradys will be photos of later vintage, like the one shown here, which is only 19 years old. Taken in January 1989 at the
Floor Covering Industry Foundation’s 9th Annual Banquet held during the Atlanta winter market, the camera captured the three industry executives honored at the dinner. Holding their awards, are Don Kuhn, left, president of Coronet Industries; Peter Chick, center, president of Sound Floor
Coverings, and Frank Mayfield, legendary retailer and carpet consultant.
