Where would you rather be a customer: at a blacksmith shop called “Wooden Knife”, or at a moving company that has been doing business for 112 years under the name “Dick Bros.”?
¿De cuál preferiría ser cliente: de una herrería que se llama Cuchillo de palo, o de una compañía de mudanzas que lleva 112 años operando bajo el nombre Verga?

Deberías conocer el famoso dicho “en casa de herrero cuchillo de palo”, que se utiliza para situaciones como, por ejemplo, te encontrás con un gerente de informática que no puede hacer andar su computadora. El caso de Verga hermanos… nada que decir.

VERGA is a good old fashined worthy name in ITALIAN…ie: author Giovanni Verga. It is just unfortunate that many Italians with that surname moved to Argentina…also, rainwhich does not reach the ground is also called “verga.” Don’t obsess with the word…ja! ja! Mal Parker
