No doubt, one of the South’s most powerful and active subcontractors is F.L. Crane & Sons Inc. Like the writings of William Faulkner, the company’s work is rich, is considered by most to be of the highest quality, the demand consistent, the output abundant. Headquartered in Fulton, Miss., the subcontractor’s reach extends well into the Delta in such locations as Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. Not quite the everlasting arm, it still would be fair to say that the company has a significant reach in the South and it wouldn’t be hard to imagine part of its business plan would be a footprint in Arkansas, Georgia and even eastern Oklahoma. In just two years, the company will turn 70.
The finishing contractor was started by (the man himself) F.L. Crane in 1947.
