About City Rentals
City Rentals - 1978
WELCOME and THANK YOU for visiting our web site. We would like to take a moment to tell a little about who we are, what we do, and how we started.
In the late 50's and early 60's Merle Ryan and Kenneth Hall operated a gasoline service station on the corner of Sultana and Holt Boulevard in Ontario. As a sideline to their service station activities they started renting trailers and eventually added other equipment as their business grew. (Holt Boulevard was one of the only ways from Los Angeles on the west to Palm Springs on the east in the days before the I-10 Freeway). As the business prospered, Mr. Hall and Mr. Ryan rented a small lot and moved the rental operations across the street. Shortly thereafter the partners separated and Halls Trailer and Equipment Rentals came into being.
It all began for CITY RENTALS in 1968 when Dale and Richard Briggs purchased the assets of Halls Trailer and Equipment Rentals from the estate of the late Kenny Hall.
In the early days Kenny Hall specialized in the "T" things. Namely, Tractors, Tillers, Trenchers and Trailers. From the very beginning the family oriented Briggs brothers stressed top flite customer service, quality brand name equipment, and fair prices. They worked long and hard and you might say they minded their "P's" and "Q's".
With the help and support of family and friends they moved the business forward step by step into the twenty first century. Their overriding concern even today is what's good for the customers, what's good for the employees, and what's good for business and the community as a whole.
The photo above shows the second location of CITY RENTALS as it was in 1978 and the photo below shows us on the corner of 4th and Vineyard today.
