Rish Equipment Company traces it's beginnings to 1934 when Bluefield Supply Company opened a distributor location for off-road equipment in Virginia. Additional locations followed in West Virginia and Ohio, and in 1944 the separate locations were combined into one company, Rish Equipment named after Lon Rish, President of Bluefield Supply Company. In 1936 Rish became a distributor for International Harvester and continually set national sales records.Rish Equipment service man with dozer-historical black and white photo
