Comprehensive History
In 1895, Alvin Rich and his brother-in-law, J. P. Blough, rented the Howard Corner on E. Liberty St. and opened a hardware store.[1] A few years later he became sole proprietor of his own hardware store, Alvin Rich & Co., at the location later occupied by the Beulah Bechtel Shop in the 1890 Quinby Building on E. Liberty St.. This retail outlet offered an extensive inventory of 24,000 items- which 8,000 which were on display. It consisted of three floors and basement offering quality merchandise. When he retired he sold his merchandise to Wooster Hardware Co. (old D. D. Miller, Hardware Store) and took down his sign and closed up shop.
Guy Richards was a business partner for many years. Clyde Miller Sr. was also a partner in the hardware business.
