May 27, 2011 11:38 EDT Ace Hardware Superstore Article Ace Hardware Superstore Article Hardware stores also purchase from a variety of regional wholesalers and specialty manufacturers. Regional wholesalers include Blish-Mize, Emery- Waterhouse, Florida Hardware, Handy Hardware, House Hasson Hardware, HDW, Inc, Jensen Distribution, Monroe Hardware, and United Hardware. Manufacturers include Black and Decker, Rubbermaid and Weber. Some hardware stores operate rental businesses as part of the primary business, and rent for public use construction tools and/or party supplies. The major hardware cooperatives provide brand name rental advertising and support for hardware store owners including Just Ask Rental, Do It Best Rental, Grand Rental Station and Taylor Rental. Ace Hardware Superstore Sites:Hardware stores, sometimes known as DIY stores, sell household hardware including: fasteners, hand tools, power tools, keys, locks, hinges, chains, plumbing supplies, electrical supplies, cleaning products, housewares, tools, utensils, paint, and lawn and garden products directly to consumers for use at home or for business. Many hardware stores have specialty departments unique to its region or its owner's interests. These departments include hunting and fishing supplies, plants and nursery products, marine and boating supplies, pet food and supplies, farm and ranch supplies including animal feed, swimming pool chemicals, homebrewing supplies and canning supplies. Ace Hardware Superstore Company The first Catalog, and its successors, used a broad definition of the term "tools". There were informational tools, such as books (often technical in nature), professional journals, courses, classes, and the like. There were specialized, designed items, such as carpenter's and mason's tools, garden tools, welding equipment, chainsaws, fiberglass materials, etc. — even early personal computers. (The designer J. Baldwin acted as editor to include such items, writing many of the reviews.) The Catalog's publication both emerged from and spurred the great wave of experimentalism, convention-breaking, and do-it-yourself attitude of the late 1960s. Often copied, the Catalog appealed to a wide cross-section of people in North America and had a broad influence. For decades, magazines such as Popular Mechanics and Mechanix Illustrated offered a way for readers to keep current on useful practical skills and techniques. DIY home improvement books began to flourish in the 1970s, first created as collections of magazine articles..

Material Culture from the Wilson Farm Tenancy: Artifact Analysis
AT THE ROAD’S EDGE: FINAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE WILSON FARM TENANCY SITE 7 Material Culture from the Wilson Farm Tenancy: Artifact Analysis LABORATORY AND ANALYTICAL METHODS The URS laboratory in Burlington, New Jersey, processed the artifacts recovered from Site 7NC- F-94. All artifacts were initially cleaned, labeled, and bagged (throughout, technicians maintained the excavation provenience integrity of each artifact). Stable artifacts were washed in water with Orvis soap using a soft bristle brush, then air-dried; in some cases, on an individual basis, artifacts deemed too delicate to wash were dry brushed—this is often the case with badly deteriorated iron and bone objects considered noteworthy. Technicians then labeled items such as prehistoric lithics, historic ceramics, bone, glass, and some metal artifacts. Labeling was conducted using an acid free, conservation grade, .25mm Staedtler marking pen applied over a base coat of Acyloid B72 resin; once the ink dried, the label was sealed with a second layer of Acyloid B72. The information marked on the artifacts consisted of the provenience catalog number. Once the artifacts were processed, they were then inventoried in a Microsoft Access database. The artifacts were sorted according to functional groups and material composition in this inventory. Separate analyses were conducted on the artifacts and inventory data to answer site spatial and temporal questions. Outside consultants analyzed the floral and faunal materials. URS conducted soil flotation. In order to examine the spatial distributions of artifacts in the plowzone, we entered the data for certain artifact types into the Surfer 8.06.39 contouring and surface-mapping program.

Historic Preservation Commission Staff Report
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT APPLICATION: DPR2019-0017 AGENDA ITEM: AR-5 PREPARED BY: John Mayer MEETING DATE: June 26, 2019 Senior Planner TITLE: Determination of Historic Significance 615 Cloverleaf Drive APPLICANT: Mark Houston Associates, Inc. 517 South Myrtle Monrovia, CA 91016 REQUEST: Determine the historic significance of a residential building built within the historic period (50 years or older) that is proposed for total demolition. BACKGROUND: The applicant is preparing plans for a development that would involve the demolition of a house at 615 Cloverleaf Drive. Since the house was built over 50 years ago (1947), the proposed demolition requires that the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) first make a determination about the building’s potential significance as an historic resource. On May 21, 2019, Mark Houston, on behalf of the owner submitted a written request to be exempt from the demolition review requirements due to the homes’ perceived obvious lack of historic significance. Pursuant to Monrovia Municipal Code (MMC) Section 17.10.050(B)(3), the HPC may either reject the request or require additional documentation. Staff determined that the applicant’s documentation is sufficient to assess the property’s lack of historic significance. For the exemption request, the applicant submitted materials prepared by Jeanette McKenna who conducted some research on the property including: building characteristics, permit history, ownership history including owner occupations, and a list of structural alterations. McKenna also included photographs of the home’s current conditions. Based on the information collected, Staff prepared the property’s Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR 523A) survey form which assigned a status code of 6L.

Hudgins, Committee Chair Elizabeth Garrett Ryan Richard Marks, III ABSTRACT Shortly before Europe’s industrial revolution, tradesmen discovered an ingenious way to rig bells in houses to mechanize communication between homeowners and their servants. Mechanical bell systems, now known as house bells or servant call bells, were prevalent in Britain and America from the late 1700s to the early twentieth century. These technological ancestors of today’s telephone were operated by the simple pull of a knob or a tug of a tassel mounted on an interior wall.
