The Mathis Family: Great Idea and Great Family
In Oklahoma and California, there are stores, furniture stores which quite well known among the local citizens called Mathis Brothers Furniture store. This store has even reached the worldwide market in selling their products. Many people often wonder what the secret behind their successful business is.
One secret weapon in their furniture business besides skills and ability is their willingness and capability to work as one unity with the other member of the family. The furniture store at the very beginning 50 years ago was built and established by Mathis brothers called Don and Bud Mathis. These two men had one plan of buying and refurbishing any refrigerators from the local, and finally sold it again in their local store. This was how the Mathis Brother Furniture store found.
Once again, the family ties show its strength and power, when the store is held and led by two Mathis Brothers, Bill and Larry Mathis, son of Don Mathis. The store was taken (purchased) by Bill and Larry some when in the year of 1988. Their strong cooperation to work and help each other had helped their business to increase rapidly. The only one furniture store in Oklahoma under their leadership turned bigger that they need to open another store to satisfy their customers. From this Mathis family, there is one simple lesson that we can learn, is that no matter how, family ties will always help and strengthen us in doing our business, because most of the time, a great idea in business comes from a big support from the family member.
