Current Updates & Overall Summaries


 

Mr. Derek Hurlock

 

"There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, and so a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only, are this man's lawful prey."

 

John Ruskin 1819 ~ 1900

 

The poet John Ruskin's quote that guided AC through the years and was noted with pride in their early sales literature and quoted in the official company history.
