December 6, 2007 -   This fall we were a finalist of the 2007 Illinois Family Business of the Year Awards, sponsored by Loyola University. With over 450 companies participating, it is an award we are very proud of. Started in 1925 by Ralph Richards, Richards is now in its 3rd generation. We wish to thank Lily Joy of Chuhak & Tecson, P.C., who graciously nominated our company.
