History
As a young man, George Steiner worked as a towel delivery boy for Johnson's towel route in Lincoln, Nebraska. When Johnson lost his contract because his towel was washed by a prisoner in a state prison in 1889, he offered to sell to George with his towel for $ 50.80 - half, half later. He bought a towel business and when his business flourished, George asked for help to his brother who he made an equal partner. Together they make deliveries of the green and white carts they push through city streets. Not long before the train was raised to a horse-drawn cart. George named his business Lincoln Lincoln and Apron Supply Company and came to be known as the American Linen . Business continued to grow and Lincoln's business expanded to Salt Lake City, UT and Minneapolis, Minnesota in the late 1800s and Vancouver, British Columbia in the early 1920s founded the Canadian Linen Supply Company. Today the American Linen Supply Company is known as AmeriPride and serves more than 150,000 customers every day.
