In 2002, Bill spent many months with
Richard T. Farmer, who transformed his
father’s and grandfather’s rag company into
a modern uniform and services company
called Cintas. Together they produced a
history of the company titled “Rags to Riches:
How Corporate Culture Spawned a
Great Company.”
Dick Farmer self-published the book, and more than 15,000 copies have been sold or distributed to the company’s employees and customers. A limited number of copies is available at amazon.com. For background on the company, see www.cintas.com.
