Wells, Jr., Philip Cloves, Ernest Shultz, Edward Colwill, Charles Knott and Edward Dickinson – helped quickly spread the merit shop philosophy and ABC became the fastest growing association in the United States.Where we are nowToday, ABC is a national trade association with 68 Chapters and 22,000 members representing more than 19,000 construction and industry-related firms.
