Quotes
“ | Davey Holcomb: I broke your machine, Mr. Whittaker! I broke it! |

“ | Davey Holcomb: If this is the commercial you want I'll be happy to do it. It's just that when I think about Whit's End, I think about the people. All of you taught me so much — especially you, Whit. I remember coming in here feeling like a total failure in life. But once I started talking with you, creating inventions and everything. I started believing in myself. And more importantly, I started believing in what God could do with me. That's what gave me the confidence to do what I love and try new things. That's probably why I ended up opening my own company. Because the people at Whit's End gave me something that lasted longer than an ice cream cone. |
