    It is no small feat to have stayed in the hardware business here in Richmond for 42 years. The Eames brothers have outlasted just about all if not all the other Richmond hardware stores of old that I can think of, and even in the face of the big box competition. But they had the best service of them all, hands down no question.
    Enjoy your retirement and thank you for all those years of excellent service.
