THE LUSE FAMILY OF COMPANIES

(A CHICAGO CONSTRUCTION TRADITION SINCE 1923)

Back in 1923, D. Claude Luse and Jack Stevenson founded the Luse Companies which operated as a corkboard importer and roofing company. Our "family-owned and operated" values and traditions helped the company flourish in the early days, and those same strengths continue to be an integral part of The Luse Companies as we head into the 21st century.

The company's original founding principles are as valid today as they were in 1923:

• LISTEN to the customer.
• EXCEED every expectation.
• HONOR every commitment.
• MAINTAIN the highest standards of moral and ethical conduct.
  

Now led by the fourth generation of the Luse family, all the Luse Companies operating groups are committed to providing the highest quality products and services to our customers. We accomplish this by continuously improving our processes, thereby providing our customers greater value. We are fully engaged in a quality management continuous improvement process that ensures a higher level of quality and expertise, enhanced by our "family-owned and operated" traditions and values.

Sincerely,
Steven T. Luse
Chief Executive Officer
Luse Holdings, Inc.
