The streets of Williamsburg in Brooklyn were clogged with horses and wagons. the top tune of the day was "Oh Promise Me." and Benjamin Harrison was the new President of the United States when a young man named Abraham Kreger started hauling store fixtures in his horsedrawn wagon. Family tradition has it that Abraham. a merchant. loaned his horse and wagon to a friend who was transporting a new store fixture. Williamsburg was a center for fixture manufacturers in those days. and the recent immigrant saw an opportunity to serve those manufacturers transportation needs. The rest is history. The founder turned the business over to his son.
