In 1929, a man by the name of Dr. Allen founded Federal Chemical Company,
Inc. He realized the widespread popularity of oriental rugs at the time
and
their vulnerability to insect attack. A brilliant chemist, he developed a
chemical mothproofer to control carpet beetles and moths, thereby
protecting
these sometimes priceless rugs from damage. He then hired several men to
apply this new formula and thus the seed of a service company was planted.
He now had the product, but it needed a name. He knew the name had to be
original, colorful, distinctive, and descriptive. After much work, he
originated the name Arab (pronounced A' rab) a term derived, in this case,
from the theme of the Arabian Nights. The new label had a certain romantic
flair, giving illusions of flying Persian carpets and still other
mysteries
of the East. From that day forward, people have been intrigued by the name
while at the same time realizing that it truly is a standard of
excellence
ARAB's fleet of yellow trucks, Canary Yellow is very distinctive. This
was
started over 20 years ago in an attempt to make us stand out from our
competitors. We feel that this was and continues to be accomplished. The
makes ARAB the home of the yellow truck.
