Scobey, MT business reinvents itself – Air Design Inc.

Small-town life can be pretty secure if you’re lucky enough to inherit the family’s business.

However, even that built-in job security can disappear when the economy shifts.

Like so many Scobey graduates, Barry Harmon left for the big city after earning a mechanical engineering technology degree from Montana State University.

He spent two years working for Chicago Pneumatic Tool in upstate New York before heading home in 1973 to run the family business. His grandfather started the dealership in 1913.

Implement sales stayed strong for a decade after Harmon took over, but gradually declined.
