Citizens Transfer & Storage Co., Inc. is celebrating its 100th year anniversary in 2007. As Tucson’s oldest mover, it began in 1907 with three Tucson businessmen who used horsedrawn wagons to haul goods to homes and businesses throughout Southern Arizona. Now, the company serves the entire state and moves people and businesses nationally and internationally.
Ed was the first Belton family member to join the company in 1921 and eventually became the owner. He passed the business down to his son, E.W., “Bill” and then Bill’s children became the third generation to own the company. John (left) is now sole and current owner, having purchased the remaining shares from his siblings.
