Haws Corporation Celebrates Centennial

On October 28th, the Haws Corporation officially celebrated its 100th Anniversary at a gala celebration held at the Siena Hotel Spa & Casino in Reno, Nevada. The black-tie event was attended by 350 Haws customers, sales representatives, past and present employees, suppliers and other special guests. Beyond the regal setting, sumptuous cuisine, live musical entertainment and libation, guests were treated to a special “Hall of Haws” display. This unique exhibit unveiled, first time ever, the company’s product museum of vintage Haws plumbing and emergency equipment products assembled into a living timeline of Haws’ innovation throughout the years. That display was also supported by a 1,900 slide video tribute to the generations of “Haws people” who have made quality, value and customer satisfaction synonymous with the Haws brand.
Highlighting the evening was an appearance by the company’s founder, Luther Haws, the inventor of the first commercial drinking fountain. Haws’ invention became the core product of the Haws Sanitary Drinking Faucet Company after his original invention in 1906. Luther Haws (phenomenally played actor Larry Elliott) walked the assembled guests through the history of the company, supported by museum products and appropriate visual references. “Luther” concluded by telling the group he was “damned proud” of their accomplishments and that he couldn’t wait to see what new heights they attain in the coming years!
