From Nevada Evening Journal May 15, 1948 (page 1) Around the Town With NELL Reedhold Hardware 25 Years In Nevada A. E. Reedholm, Nevada hardware merchant, who has been on the corner of Main street and K avenue since 1923 is celebrating his twenty-fifth anniversary in Nevada. In honor of this event, the Reedholm Hdwe. store will hold "Open House" Tuesday, May 18, from 1 to 5 p. m. during which time souvenirs will be distributed and free coffee and doughnuts will be served. There will also be balloons for the kiddies. 25 Years on Main Street A. E. Reedholm came to Nevada in June 1923 purchasing the hardware stock of O. O. Mullen. This corner store, built by White and Bamberger, longtime Nevada merchants, has been a hardware store corner for the past 74 years. Reminiscing a bit regarding the changes in merchandise and merchandising since coming to Nevada 25 years ago Mr. Reedholm said the trend has been along the line of labor saving equipment and new comforts for the home. The Passing Years. When Mr. Reedholm came to Nevada, two decades and a half ago, some of the popular items of merchandise were kerosene lamps...lamp chimneys...and hand-power washing machines, many of the old wooden type. The Round Oak burner was a popular number at that time--later the circulating heater with jacket, the precursors of the present day oil and gas heat, the stoker and the modern furnace. * * The kitchen range, which provided for cooking, and also heating of the kitchen (too much in summer) is now largely combination types or have given way to the ultra in the bottle, natural gar or the electric ranges of today. Other Changes Mr. Reedholm says he sold many a Herrick ice refrigerator for summer food preservation--when he came to Nevada--boxes kept mostly on the back porch for the convenience of the ice man...now the mechanical refrigerators do a 12 months job and the attractive white boxes are moved into the kitchen for the convenience of the homemaker. "I have seen these and many other changes during the past 25 years, but changes which have made for better standards of living, and in hardware merchandising, as in all forms of merchandising, the Nevada merchant has kept abreast of the times in the forward march" stated Mr. Reedholm member of the Iowa Retail Hardware Association, who says there have been many changes and improvements in the business street since he came there 25 years ago. From 1909 to 1923 When Mr. Reedholm, and his brother were in Lanyon, from 1909 to 1923 with their hardware business the carried a line of farm implements. They handled the walking cultivators and the walking stirring plow and other farm equipment which has been replaced by present day farm machinery. Top-buggies were sold by them during their years in Lanyon and with the top-buggy "lap-robes" and buggy whips were much in demand. "I recall the traveling salesman, who came to our store, bringing with him bundles of the 'very latest' in buggy whips which were popular items of merchandise. * * * When the Reedholdms came to Nevada 25 years ago Mr. Reedholm purchased the home at 1132 First street which has since been the family home. Their family of four children all attended and graduated from the Nevada schools. The children include the daughter Agnes, Mrs. John Piet of Milwaukee, Wis., the son Dr. Edward Reedholm, graduate of the State University of Iowa and a practicing physician in Grundy Center, the son Glen, who has been manager of the Reedholm Hardware store since his return from Seattle, Wash. where he served three years in the Coast Guard, and Vivian, born in Nevada, a graduate of Simpson college, Indianola, who is employed at the state hospital in Clarinda. * * * In appreciation of the patronage extended the Reedholm Hardware store during the past quarter of a century, Mr. Reedholm Sr., who has been its sole owner throughout the years, and Glen Reedholm manager are holding the Open House on Tuesday afternoon.
