Friends told him "Salt Lake will never grow out that far," but in 1952, along with son Art Callister Jr., they constructed a small building to house wool, which they would then grate and sell to buyers as far away as Chicago. The dirt road was Redwood and that small building became AA Callister. Back then, sheepherders coming into the store to sell wool began requesting supplies for their horses. Doing their best to satisfy customers, the Callisters met their requests by supplying veterinary equipment and various tack. AA Caiister keeps the look of the old west alive with its historic styled store front too have noticed the recent slump in the economy and before that, work cm caused many of their "Out of valley" customers to go elsewhere. The Callisters also maintain community support. The police department sponsors a horse show for terminally ill children in which Ned per- sonally supports. They spon sor local horse clubs and rodeos as well and have made several donations to local charities. "Callisters is about caring for people and providing products for those who live and love the horse and western lifestyle," Ned Callister said. The company's anniversary celebration continues throughout the year, including a time when certain products will be priced as they were in 1952. It is also going to be the 80th birthday of Art Callister Jr. whose father Art Callister Sr. lived to the ripe old age of 101.
