1963 - Start of William Hulbert Mill
In 1963, Dams and Johnson retired from Cascade Casket and the company was purchased by the William Hulbert Mill Company. Dent Maulsby retired from Collins about 1969. William Hulbert Mill Company and Collins merged the casket firms under the Collins name. Ownership was 50/50 with Ratsy Collins serving as president and William G. Hulbert Jr. as vice president. Shortly after the merger, Collins acquired a Spokane Company, Inland Casket, which installed casket interiors.
