Another hardware business is that of Harold Strait at 2 N. Main Street. In 1876 C. E. Allen had a hardware business in town. In 1878, after the completion of the Allen Block it moved into it present location as F. A. Allen and Company. The building was, a first, a two-story building, and the third story was added for the Soldiers Orphan School. The business became successively, Allen and Pratt in 1880, T. V. Moore and Company in 1882, Lloyd and App in 1889, George L. Strait in 1891, Strait and Wood, Stait and Retan, and George L. Strait and Sons in 1910, the present firm name under Harold Strait as manager. Hi, Joyce - Attached is a notice of the sale of the hardware store to Lloyd and Opp from the Local and County section of the Mansfield Advertiser, February 6, 1889, Volume XVII, Number 7. Will continue to look for T.V.'s full name and where he went after the sale of the store. Let me know if you cannot open the .pdf. Hope this helps, Sylvia |
