A-Boy Electric & Plumbing
 
Founded by John Dolan in 1960, A-Boy Supply Company first sold plumbing fixtures, electrical supplies and appliances from a former grocery store in S.E. Portland. Lighting products and supplies were added later. Business grew slowly but steadily. Our company has grown from a small retailer of plumbing and electrical products to a seven store hardware and home center chain serving the Portland/Vancouver metropolitan area and the world via the Internet. We carry a broad range of quality plumbing fixtures, consoles, tubs, sinks, faucets and water heaters. Electrical supplies from light fixtures, service panels and breakers to portable and built-in heaters are available. Through buying direct from major vendors, we're able cut costs and save our customer's money. Our new point-of-sale system helps us provide a better in-stock availability of products and our excellent service means friendly help for all.  We at A-Boy work hard to earn our customer's loyalty everyday. You need more than quality products and low prices to earn customer trust... knowledgeable, helpful people make the real difference.

Port of Portland
 
The Port of Portland is a founding member of the CRSA.  The Port of Portland Terminal 6 serves as our area's container terminal.  Terminal 6 is also the region’s barging connection from inland producers to Pacific Rim markets and beyond. Container barging connects Terminal 6 to four shallow-draft upriver ports on the Columbia/Snake river system: Boardman and Umatilla, Oregon; Pasco, Washington; and Lewiston, Idaho, which is the country's farthest inland port at 465 miles (744 kilometers) from the Pacific Ocean.  In addition, Ocean carriers and intermodal companies save on total transportation costs by taking advantage of Portland's transportation infrastructure.  Portland is a cost-effective point of entry that offers reduced transit times to inland destinations compared to other West Coast ports.  The Port also has a long history of reaching out and involving the community in development projects.

There is a difference in our approach to embroidery and we've defined it with a dimension that is only achieved through experience, creativity and strict attention to detail.  It's another way we distinguish a Richardson cap from the rest.
