Building Lasting Bonds: The Story of Arnold's Loyal Staff

The year 1938 marked the beginning of what would become one of Arnold's most remarkable stories of loyalty and dedication. Four teenage boys - Norm Brumm, Laurie Hillier, Norm Robinson, and Norm Olsen - joined the business, unknowingly starting what would become lifelong careers with Arnold's.

What made their story particularly special was not just the length of their service, but the depth of their commitment. These young men, who started as teenagers looking for work, became integral parts of the Arnold's extended family. Their dedication to the business matched that of the Arnold family members themselves, demonstrating that the spirit of commitment J.G Arnold had instilled in his own children could inspire similar devotion in others.

The fact that three of the four shared the same first name - Norm - would become a cherished piece of Arnold's folklore, adding a touch of charm to the business's rich history. But it was their unwavering commitment and dedication that truly set them apart. Each of these men would spend practically their entire working lives with Arnold's, their careers spanning decades of the business's growth and evolution.

Their long-term service spoke volumes about not just their own loyalty, but also about Arnold's as a workplace. The business had created an environment where employees felt valued and respected, where work was more than just a job - it was a calling. The story of these four young men would become a testament to the family values that permeated every aspect of Arnold's operations, extending well beyond blood relations to encompass all who contributed to its success.
