About Prestons Electric
A one-man electrical business run the way the family mill was: you know who you're dealing with, the terms are printed at the bottom, and the work is done right.
Speediset · Moore Business Forms, Inc.
Recreated from an original Prestons, Inc. mill copy grist form.
The mill
Prestons, Inc. was the family business in Canton, Pennsylvania. It was a feed mill where farmers from the surrounding hills brought in grain to be ground. The paperwork was printed by Moore Business Forms up the road in Elmira: order forms, mill-copy grist slips, monthly statements, and the paired coupons customers dropped in the box. They're plain, sturdy forms with the terms printed in small capitals at the bottom.
A few of those forms survived, and they're where this business gets its look. That's more than nostalgia. They came from a business that knew its customers by name and did the job right.
The electrician
Prestons Electric is Eric Riggs. He handles residential and commercial electrical work across the Southern Tier and Northern PA, and he's the one who answers the phone, writes the quote, does the work and sends the invoice. Its sister business, Prestons Farm Electric, handles agricultural work.
