Company Description
 It was 1955 in Springfield, Massachusetts, when Harry Marcus of Marcus Tile realized he was picking up as much tile for other contractors at distributors in Hartford, Connecticut, as he was for himself. There were no distributors in Springfield, making it necessary for Harry to go to Hartford just about every day to pick up tile for his four man team of installers. Harry and his wife, Mollie, decided that it was time to start their own tile distribution business. The Marcuses sold their installation business and partnered with the Wenczel Tile Company to open up Standard Tile Distributors in August of 1956. Harry expanded with partner Jack Knies by opening locations in Connecticut. Harry and Mollie's oldest son, Steve Marcus, entered the family business and, after managing the Hartford branch, opened a new location in Albany, New York, naming it Best Tile.
