1902. One hundred and ten years ago. It is stunning to think about all that has changed and advanced in the world in over a century. Next think about how much has changed and advanced within business and technology in that same time span. This really puts into context the amazing history of the Schireson brothers and their upstart company, which would evolve into what we know today as Volutone Distributing. Brothers Jack and Nathan Schireson opened the doors of the original Schireson Brothers on South Broadway Street in Los Angeles in 1902. Their company evolved into a business that would survive and thrive in the American economy of the 20th century, an economy that provided every windfall and catastrophe imaginable. Remarkably the Schireson brothers maintained their presence in a field that was barely in existence at the turn of the century, but is a part of our daily lives almost constantly today — the field of technology. Technologies so advanced and deeply embedded within our daily lives the possibilities of which neither brother could have imagined. Yet they always saw a future in adapting and staying upon the edge of it.
