Three generations, one counter

Same corner since 1971

Walter Ostrander opened the store with a key machine, a paint shaker and a wall of loose nails sold by the pound. His daughters, Ruth and Dana, grew up sorting those nails and run the place today.

Ruth mixes the paint and can match almost anything you bring her. Dana runs the key machine and the rental counter, and has fixed more running toilets over the phone than she can count. Dana's son Eli drives the delivery van after school.

We stock 14,000 items in 2,400 square feet. If we don't have it, we'll tell you who does.
