Description
Collage of reproduction photographs and ephemera documenting the history of Orchard Supply Hardware. A label on the reverse reads: 1960's: Simply having products available was no longer enough to lure customers.

Orchard Supply migrated from general merchant to specialty retailer. First slogan: "The World's Most Unusual Hardware Store" Offering customers hard-to-find-items, one-of-a kind events and quirky words-of-wisdom
