Historical Sketch The Richards and Conover Hardware Company was started by John F. Richards in 1857. When it closed in 1999, it was one of the longest continually running family owned businesses in Kansas City. Missouri Valley Special Collections • http://www.kchistory.org • 14 W. 10th St., Kansas City, MO 64105 • 816.701.3427 THE KANSAS CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY John Francisco Richards got his start in the hardware business while working for Child, Pratt and Company in St. Louis in 1854. He then moved to Leavenworth, Kansas Territory in 1857 to go into business for himself. He opened the J.F. Richards’ Hardware Store and Agricultural Warehouse (also briefly known as Richards and Chamberlin). By 1866 the business was prospering as John F. Richards and Company, and John Conover was hired as a traveling salesman. Richards took note of the growth in Kansas City – the Hannibal Bridge being built and the livestock industry settling in – and realized the area would have a significant edge over others as a railroad hub. So in 1875, knowing that fortune would follow the railroad, he opened up a company branch at 3rd and Delaware in Kansas City. Between 1881 and 1884, Richards moved to a new location at 5th and Wyandotte, reorganized as Richards and Conover Hardware Company with John Conover as a partner, and closed the Leavenworth branch. In 1906 they opened a branch store in Oklahoma City. The company continued to prosper as they took advantage of numerous opportunities to buy out competitors and expand their own reach. By the 1950s, the demand for hardware wholesalers was beginning to decline, so Richards and Conover decided to focus more resources on steel distribution. In 1954 they opened a new plant for their steel operation at 6333 St. John Avenue, and then in 1958 they liquidated the hardware business. The company began experiencing difficulties in the late 1990s, due to a faulty new software system and changes in the steel market. In December 1999, the company closed and sold off all its assets. During the company’s 145 years, it always remained a family-owned business with five generations of the Richards family being involved. At the time the company closed, it was being run by Martha Richards Sawyer, a great-great-granddaughter of the company’s founder. Scope and Content Note This collection contains records of the company’s organization and reorganization, stock holdings, Board of Directors meeting minutes, correspondence, administrative records, ledger books, catalogs, publications, advertisements, news articles, data processing cards, and photographs. The collection seems to document a large portion of the company’s business proceedings, but it is not complete. A portion of the company’s records can be found at the Jackson County Historical Society. Series 1: Legal Records, 1874-1971 and n.d.

    Turners Falls Bicentennial 1754-1954 Turners Falls Bicentennial 1754-1954 Text only Directory Pg. 150 Festival Opens Montague 200th on Bright Note The music was by men, women and young people from nine churches in the township. Pastors and ministers supported them by taking places in the band shell along with officials of the town, speakers and committee members. Miss Florence E. Argy served as director of the massed choirs, while Mrs. Florence F. Smith served as piano accompanist. The program was launched with the National Anthem sung by all while members of the armed services advanced the colors. Rev. Stephen R. Tucker of Turners Falls' First Congregational Church gave the Invocation, followed by the official welcome to the bicentennial by Arthur E. Burke, general chairman, who had been introduced by Wayne E. Pleasant, chairman of the evening's program. Following the first half of the program Dr. Hawkes spoke on the topic, "The 1954 Montague Watch" in which he used a watch as a symbol of Montague—its workmanship, character—and future. A bright and forceful speaker, Dr. Hawkes chose this opportunity not only to compliment the people of the town on what they have achieved in the first 200 years but to urge them to press forward with still greater accomplishments. He likened the history of the town to that of Massachusetts, which was settled by a little colony of people. From this small beginning became a great commonwealth. He cited 10 requirements of a successful town, some of which were its schools, ministry, the early commons for a drilling place and the noble character of its inhabitants.
