COMPANY HISTORY

Quaker Boy, Inc. started as a hobby in the home of Mr. & Mrs. Richard C. Kirby. A barber and beautician by trade, Richard (Dick) and Beverly had an extreme love of the outdoors. A demand for Dick Kirby's call creations and business opportunity led them to start "Quaker Boy Game Calls". The company is privately held with Mr. & Mrs. Kirby being the principal owners. They both remain as Quaker Boy's chief operating officers today. The company name comes from Dick and Beverly's hair shop, known while in existence, as Quaker Boy Barber Shop and Quaker Girl Beauty Shop .The name originated from the "Quaker" settlement of Orchard Park on Quaker Rd. in Orchard Park New York.

Building turkey calls is what started Quaker Boy. This is the reason for the original name "Quaker Boy Turkey Calls". The company added many other types of game calls and hunting accessories. The fast growing business incorporated in 1981. Today the company is known as "Quaker Boy, Inc."
