Garrett & Sons with his son Bill Garrett.  The business was first located at 15 East 5th St. (Which was across the street from the Fulton Court house.) Sterling T. Campbell bought half of the E.C. Garrett & Sons from his father-in-law E.C. Garrett in 1964 when E.C. Garrett retired. Bill Garrett and Sterling T. Campbell became partners in plumbing and hydronic heating and renamed the company Garrett & Campbell.
