Hoober Equipment,
Hoober Equipment Inc. of
Middletown, Delaware was formed
on November 1,1982 when Hoober
Equipment Inc., Sudlersville,
Maryland purchased White Bros.
Supply Company, of Middletown,
Delaware. Although the new
Middletown, Delaware, business is
only a little over one year old, it is
rich in the combined experience
and knowledge of two farm
machinery firms.
For more than forty years White
Bros Supply Co. had been selling
International Harvester farm
machinery in Northern Delaware.
With the 1982 consolidation, all but
one of White’s employees some
with over thirty years experience
servicing and selling I.H.
machinery went to work for the
new company.
Nor could Hoober Equipment
Inc., of Maryland be considered a
fledgling company. In the mid
seventies, Charlie Hoober, of C.B.

service-oriented success
Hoober & Son, Inc., Intercourse,
PA, saw an emerging opportunity
to market large four-wheel-drive
tractors and heavy-duty tillage
equipment on the Delmarva
peninsula. With an eye toward
meeting the needs of Delmarva’s
high-speed, labor-intensive far
ming, Charlie formed Hoober
Equipment, Inc., in 1976, to sell
and service Steiger four-wheel
drive tractors, putting Daryl
Peifer in charge of managing the
new firm.
The Hoober organization in
Sudlersville grew and prospered
through the seventies and into the
eighties, because the management
adopted the same service-oriented
philosophy that Charlie Hoober
and his father, Bud Hoober, found
to be the foundation of their
Pennsylvania operation.
“When the customer has a
problem, make it your problem,”
was the Hoober watchword, and
from the day he moved into the
HI
house across the road from where
he would supervise the con
struction of the Hoober Equip
ment, Inc., store, Daryl Peifer
worked around the clock “to keep
his customers going.”
