A HISTORY OF SERVICE<br />

STUMP I<br />

History<br />

In 1906 Willaim Edgar Isle became manager<br />

of the Kansas City branch of the J.F. Rowley<br />

Company, which became the W.E. Isle<br />

Company in 1920.<br />

In 1923, with the purchase of the first knitting<br />

'^machine, Knit-Rite came into being. By the 1930s, departments had been established<br />

to manufacture prosthetic and orthotic components. In 1938, a 24-page catalog, offering a wide variety of<br />

supplies, was published. Through the 1950s and '60s, Knit-Rite developed<br />

as a major broad-line distributor. Through the 1970s, textile production<br />

was automated, expanded and diversified and distribution continued<br />

to expand. The 1980s have brought even more rapid changes in technology<br />

to our field and our way of<br />

doing business.<br />
