Press Release Body: John Ahern owner of Ahern Equipment Rentals decided at 45 to own his own business back in 1953. He purchased a Signal Oil and Gas station in Las Vegas Nevada. The business started selling oil, gas and diesel along side rental equipment. One of the first items they rented were automobile window-mounted swamp coolers used primarily by tourists traveling to California. Later, he expanded the rental inventory to include trailers, hand tools, and trucks. These items were soon followed by construction equipment and homeowner items such as lawn and garden equipment.
