The Peavey family's history is full of unusually successful entrepreneurs. I have learned a great deal from my father and grandfather and they learned a lot from their heirs.

Zane Peavey, my father is pictured at the right with my Mom, Lee B. Peavey.

He started working with his Dad Lynn Peavey in 1958 and soon thereafter started a company named Peavey Advertising representing products for advertisers. This company later evolved into selling incentive programs with the new division's name being Motivation Services and since then it was renamed Peavey Performance Systems.

My grandfather, Lynn Peavey was a great businessman. He began as a reporter for the Capital Times in Madison Wisconsin where he became the political editor.  Later on his father Hubert Haskell Peavey asked him to come to New Richmond Wisconsin to manage the newspaper business that he owned. He also met his wife Carmen Hemenway at this time.

In 1934 Lynn Peavey then went to work for Peavey Paper Mills in Ladysmith Wisconsin which was owned by his two uncles Harold J. Peavey and William (Bill) McKindley Peavey. He became the national sales manager and at one point decided to have his own son's (Zane Peavey) picture on millions of rolls of toliet paper. William (Bill) McKindley Peavey also owned businesses with race horses that ran in the Kentucy Derby among other things. 

Lynn Peavey then retired in 1950 and went to Kansas City as he had been working there throughout his life. He then started the Lynn Peavey Company in 1951 where he was a manufacturers rep for paper goods. Years later he began a successful business selling plastic reclosable bags to commerical industries.

My grandfather was also the grand nephew of John Franklin (Frank) Haskell and George Everett Haskell, both brothers, who were the founders  of Beatrice Foods Inc. and Beatrice Creamery.

My great grandfather, United States Congressman Hubert Haskell Peavey, brought legislation that created the start of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, which was signed by President Franklin Delanor Roosevelt. He was a true entrepreneur and had diverse businesses from fur farming, to fruit farming, to real estate holdings and newspaper companies across the United States. He also owned FoxFarms and was a large land holder in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
