amawning the Home Hard
ware store in Clinton,
Although they are dew to
the business world, - they
moi+od; from their farm in the
o rdwich area to buy the
Horne Hardware store - they
have been able to maintain a
wide variety of stock as welt
as open up new lines of
mercha ise.
Their s k, including over
20,000 different items, con-
tains everything including
"the kitchen sink." While the
Radio Shack division makes
up for a large part of their
merchandise, they also carry
farm supplies including
medicines. automobile needs,
children's toys, blinding,
supplies and all household
wares down to,+hina, tete cups,
Besides oPening up the
Radio Shack, they have also
included wallpaper, CIL
paints and made to measure
window shades. "Ehr also
have a rental seri ce for
power tools which includes
cement mixer, wheelbarrows
and a variety of other tools.
The 4,000 square -feet of
floor space contains over
5100,000 woicth of mer-
chandise, all accounted for by
a means of computers. Every
item carries a different serial
number and these "bin
tickets" can be easily stocked
by the computers.
0 an an item isout of stock,°a
quick telephone call to the
main computers at the Horne
Hardware warehouse in St.
Jacobs can have the article
ready to be shipped to the
store within a few days. This
efficient system ensures that
every entry is accounted for

a . ,� be re -supplied
without a waiting period of
any duration.
Although the,Zeemans have
always been a hardworking
couple le and willing to meet
challenges, they give credit to
their staff for maintaining the
business. Doyle Cullen and
his wife Cathy are a great
help in looking after the
Radio Shack division of the
store and Mrs. Cullen also
looks after the bookkeeping.
Mrs. Mary Sutter who has
been with the. store for 32
years, has also aided the
Zeemans in establishing the
business.
Mr. Zeeman also has his
three sons working in the
store for the summer, but
they will be returning to
college in the fall.
His sons have also helped
Mr. Zeeman build an addition
to the s tree and are busy now
installing the electrical
wiring to the additional
feet o floor space.
Although they find the
summer months the busiest
for them; the Zeemans have ,a
steady business throughout
the year and devote most of
their time to the store.
The couple are used to
trying new things, and
probably their greatest
venture was moving to
Canada from Holland in 1952.
However since then,
challenges for the Zeemans
have .not stopped and once
again they have met another
challenge. and will be sure to
meet many more in the
future.
