1998 Hall of Fame--A Mentor, An Advisor, A Leader

Heady Ascension
Consolidated's heady ascension is a long way from—and yet somehow an extension of—Davis' boyhood days in Ogden, AR, where his parents built a successful, local business that grew into a general store/gas station and extensive farming operation.

"We weren't open 9-to-5," he recalls. "We opened at 6 a.m. and we stayed open until the customers stopped coming. That's a service mentality that gets in your blood."
