Main street future ,a.
concern, hardware closed`
Pro Hardware In Hensall has not been
open for business since last Thursday. A
hand -lettered sign says only that inventory is
being taken. Tom Mulligan, financial
manager- of D.H. Howden Co. Ltd.,
franchiser of the Pro Hardware stores, would -
only say "the store is closed at present, and
may reopen in the future."
Closure of the store came as a complete
surprise to owner Bill Smith. Officials of Pro
Hardware had phoned to say they were
coming to see him. and he assumed they
wished to discuss reorganization of his debt
with them and the Bank of Montreal.
Instead, the doors were locked.
• "It's sad to see five years of my fife, and
the earnings of a lifetime go," Smith said.
The hardware store Bess the heavy
appliances business) wasurch d from
BohandJack Drysdale Jan; ,197 by Smith
in partnhip with Lester er. Smith
became sole owner when the franchise was
switched from Home Hardware to Pro
Hardware.
Smith said the street renovations coming
after two bad years of recession were the last
straw. He figures his business lost S50,000
in Eros sales during the time potential
customers detoured around Hensall to avoid
the annoyance and inconvenience of the
torn -up „ • through the village's main
si ection.
ally December sales are double
those of the.,previous months, Smith added,
but this year that was not the ease.
In order to keep his store going, Smith had
sold his farm near Monkton, and alt
proceeds went into the Hensall business. 0
was not enough.
- Smith said it is still too early for him to
decide his next step.
"I have enough experience that lean get a
job in a number of Jields," he said,
Smith is concerned that if the hardware.
store is notsepiaced quickly, Hensall will be
affected adversely, as there soon won't be
enough stores to draw people to the village
to shop. 1
•Outer Hensall merchants share Smith's
concern. Grocer Don Beauchamp said
closing the hardware store will definitely
hurt Hensall. He said the village does not
seem to have "the right business- mix" .t0
draw customers looking for price ' and
quality.
He. said he is doing his best to keep his '-
prices competitive with' those of the major
chains, and' has experienced an increase in
sales at Don's Food Market.
Ron Wareing. proprietor of Ron's Health
Centre,aiti-he hated_ to ace � atrybt
lose, as to more variety of 3ervtces, d Veen
can offer the 'better.
Wareing said he knows Bill Smith "gave it
his best try", and if he is unable to carry on.
then Wareing hopes someone else will
quickly fill in the gap.
faker Ulrich Duttmann shares the hope
the hardware store will soon reopen. fle said
Hensall cannot exist without the patronage
of atea farmers, and a hardware store Is one
of the businesses which draws them to the
village. He said the only thing that will save
the village is if some of the many people Who
work in Hensall would also come and live
here.
"1t could he one of the best little towns
anywhere," Duttrnann said. "We halve all
kinds of housing. and one of the lowest tax
rates around because of all the industry
here."
