"My first memories were of Grandfather in his office in Copley Square telling about his big shows on the West Coast.

- Terry Vose
"Yes, and the desire to keep that reputation intact has a tremendous effect on how we do business.
People must have absolute faith in their dealings with us. To me, it's the secret of staying in business for 166 years."
