In the 1930s, in the midst of the Great Depression, it was hardly a time when one could expect to start a successful business. But it was a time when men dreamed about making a better future for themselves and their families. Both Eudore J. Fontaine and George O. Fontaine decided to work toward their dreams of fostering strong and vibrant communities. In 1933 they issued 35 shares of common stock thereby founding Fontaine Bros. Inc. Since then, the Fontaine's have continued the tradition of quality building for three generations.
