An example of this is the multitude of trim now on display. A line of bathroom furnishings, including vanities, is on display and gives a customer the opportunity of seeing the product. The business has also. incorporated a seasonal section, and is in the process of increasing the plumbing and electrical section, updating their product lines and selection. This business, which has been part of the community since 1925, employs seven full time employees, alongwith one part time. The business was owned by the Hender- son family until the fall of 1988 when it was sold, to Hodgins Homecare and Pro hardware, Win- gham. - This business has changed in many ways during its 59 year his- tory in the village.
