“We had a lady call one
time and said there was a
snake under her commode
seat. We sent one of our
guys over and sure enough,
there was a snake, so he
caught it,” Nix continued,
“Another time, we ordered
a piece of air conditioning
equipment. A guy from
Brownwood, who we knew,
was working at the plant in
Tennessee. He saw the unit
was coming here, so he and
his buddy wrote a note with
it. ‘Hello, from the two best
shipping people in the Car-
rier Corp.,”’
“We have met a lot of
interesting people,” Nix said.
“We’ve had a lot of good cus-
tomers. We’ve been blessed
throughout the years.”
He recalled installing an
air-conditioning unit, in
1970, at the home of Roy
Spence.
“He was a character. A
good character and he was
a good man. There are just
a lot of good people in
Brownwood. They’re givers.”
Nix added he has long been
active with Scouts, “I believe
we have had some of the
best Scout leaders in the
world. I really believe that.
“We appreciate all of our
customers and thank them
for our many years of suc-
cess.”
