It was at this time Dorothy and Harold decided to buy a store. They started out being open for business three days a week. It did not take long to find out they could not accomodate all of the people in that amount of time. They then established business hours of 9:00AM to 4:00 PM five days a week, which is close to the hours they currently have.

History

As time went on, they had many customers requesting products from the number one ceramic manufacturing company in the nation, Duncan Enterprises. Duncan is very selective in delegating distributorships. When Duncan awarded them the distributorship, Dorothy and Harold decided to sell another business they owned to obtain enough capital to make the purchase. With the Duncan line available, many new accounts were obtained. This was the turning point of their business. Certain ceramic items need assessories. At this time lamp parts, clock mechanisms, Christmas tree kits, bank plugs, sponges, and many other miscellaneous items were taken on.
