OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA — When it comes to heavy lifting, carrying big things, or stacking huge loads, companies make machines for that now. Mark Medley, just like his dad Bill, grew up selling them. “Yes we do,” says company president Mark as he walks onto a huge shop and showroom floor. Bill Medley quips, “Most people haven’t the foggiest idea what business we’re in.”

Bill’s dad Joe Medley started out in Oklahoma City selling cars. A contact at church got him a job selling industrial scales. Then in 1941 Joe opened a little store at 5th and Hudson in Oklahoma City. He had Bill hit the streets to sell hand trucks. “I was embarrassed and scared. I didn’t know who I was going to sell it to but I did it.”

If you are one of the many who are looking for a career, or just want to take a trip down a different job path, a local library will be hosting a job fair later this week.

While Oklahoma City has the lowest unemployment rate in the country, a job fair is coming to town for those who are still searching for work.
