1. It began when he shifted his career
path from rubber factory worker to driver.
It began when he shifted his career
path from rubber factory worker to driver.
Without a break he would travel to his second job,
driving a school bus for Ewing Charter Service. It did
not take long for his entrepreneurial drive to kick into
gear. He found himself buying “his and her” milk trucks;
one for himself and one for his wife, and lifelong
companion, Marian. The family business was born.
With children in tow -
Peggy with Dad & Harry Jr.
with Mom - the Stout’s
would load up their trucks
and make their deliveries.
Harry Jr. recalls the
excitement of the early
morning trips all the while,
secretly inside him, his own
dream was developing.
With an unprecedented motivation Harry Sr. left Ewing
Charter and established his second business - Stout’s
Bus Service. After their children were old enough to
attend school, Marian became one of the first female
school bus drivers in the area.
Stout’s Bus was founded with the forward thinking that
emulates the mind-set of the present day Stout’s. Buying

Stout’s Bus was founded with the forward thinking that
emulates the mind-set of the present day Stout’s. Buying
two buses instead of one, allowed for a
back-up if one was taken out of service.
Buying used vs. new was smart money, two
1953 Chevy school busses for around $2k.
The Edgewood Inn, which was a parking
lot for Harry, soon became obsolete and
he needed a place to call his own. He
found “Skunk Hollow,” a swampland
which had long been a dumping ground for toxins and
oil. Where another man might have seen a wasteland,
Harry saw potential. The monumental task of cleaning
up Skunk Hollow was typical of his passion for “making
something bad - good” and “making something good –
better”.
He built Stout’s Bus Service at 20 Irven Street, Ewing, NJ,
where the present company thrives today…

not just for one company but two. He would awaken at the crack of
dawn and deliver milk and butter for Stoy’s Dairy.
