What It Means To YOU!
Most every community has its independent hardware store. In many
cases, it has grown with the community from a small one-room building
to a large modern business establishment. It is an institution built on a
sound foundation of quality merchandise, reasonable prices, personal
attention and service. Your hardware store is an important spot in your
community and here's why . . .

•
Independent hardware dealers depend upon
quality merchandise for their repeat business.
It is always their policy to satisfy their cus
tomer's demand for high-grade merchandise and
for that reason, they must maintain a high
standard of quality.
•
Because of their location, lower overhead and
the efficient manner in which your indepen
dent hardware store operates, you can be sure
that you pay only fair prices for quality goods.
With their expenses at a low level, they can
afford to sell at a lower margin of profit and
pass on the savings to you.
•
Your independent hardware store does not
specialize in “best sellers.” They make every ef
fort to keep a complete stock that will serve
the community in the best way. You can elim
inate the tiresome job of shopping in a half
dozen places by patronizing your independent
dealer when you need hardware.
Salespeople in independent hardware stores
know their hardware. That’s their business and
they are trained to know the stock and the
advantages of each item. The courtesy, prompt
attention and service rendered is a real pleasure.
Many repair or technical problems encountered
around the home are solved in independent
hardware stores. They have faced hundreds of
situations before and their experience and ad
vice can save you possibly hours of unnecessary
work and worry.
In most cases, customers of independent hard
ware dealers know the owner of the store and
the salespeople employed. Likewise they know
him and greet him by name. There is a friend
ly atmosphere which creates the utmost confi
dence when you buy.
You will always find the indpendent hard
ware dealer is a leader in any community enter
prise. He knows that the people around him
are responsible for his livelihood. He is con
scious of the fact that a better community is a
more desirable place to live and do business in.
He holds an important spot in your community,
in a business way and socially.
