Charlie Grassman's business was located at 113 West Second, KS in Pratt, a building which now serves as a photography studio. Stanion Wholesale Electric Co commenced business with four employees: Jud Stanion, Bobbe Stanion, Jean Doris Galliart, and Eddy Galliart. Jud was the inside/counter sales representative. Eddy served as the first outside sales representative. All the office functions that are now handled by our corporate offices, such as accounts payable, payroll, accounts receivable, and pricing were originally handled by Bobbe and Jean Doris. Our customer deliveries were made with a black 1956 Studebaker sedan sporting a luggage rack on top.

Main. The corporate office handles all of the finance, accounting, accounts receivable, accounts payable, billing, pricing, purchasing, company Data Center, personnel, payroll, training, communications, and the overall management of the company.
