Title: Hardware store near 699 main street, corners of Main, Temple and Johnson
Post by: semafore on January 10, 2010, 07:59:50 PM

I have been racking my brain to try to remember the name of the hardware store near the above location. In the 40s and 50s it was owned and run by a woman who knew where every nut, bolt and nail was in the store. She seemed very old to me then but was probably in her 50s. Does anyone remember the name of the store?

I believe it was called Fairmount Hardware. It was owned by a Woman named Zita ( spelling ). She was a sister to the guy who owned Fairmount Lumber and she was never married... I'm told.

Thanks! I'm sure you are right. I did remember that she had an unusual name (for the time). Now I can unrack my brain.
