The year was 1932, when Joseph Milhench and his two partners founded Russell, Milhench & Harrison Co., a distributor of production supplies to the textile industry in New Bedford, MA. Joseph’s son, Arthur, joined in the 1950s and the company became Milhench, Inc., serving the fish processing and construction industries. In the mid-1980s, the manufacturing side of the business was sold and Milhench Supply Company was established at its present main location in the New Bedford Business Park. While the company has changed since 1932, what remains the same is its focus on dependable, personal service.

How many small businesses are there in the United States? 28 million. That’s correct: 28 million small businesses in the United States. To put this in perspective, there are 18,500 large companies in the US. That’s 28,000,000 versus 18,500.
Of those 28 million, more than 22 million small businesses in the United States are individually operated, without any employees.
The US has a GDP of almost $17 trillion. A GDP, or Gross Domestic Product, is a quantitative measure of the United State’s total economic activity.
The United State’s small business community contributes approximately $8.5 trillion to the economy, roughly half of the total $17 trillion GDP.
