Fisher-Glassford Hardware Co.

Fisher-Glassford Hardware Co., 1932-1934 Tulare St, Fresno (September 1911 calendar card). In 1903, the Fisher-Glassford Hardware Co. was founded in Fresno by Frederick W. Fisher (1854?-1910) and George H. Glassford (1862?-1910). Fisher was a Missouri native, Glassford was from Napa, and they met while working at Fresno’s Barrett-Hicks Hardware Co. The first Fisher-Glassford store opened on J (Fulton) Street, but soon moved to the Tulare Street location. Both men died in the same year, and the business was sold to J.C. Clark and W.C. Frahm, who were the owners at the time this postcard was printed. In 1915, Fisher-Glassford was sold again to Elmer Lord, August Bopp and Frank Smith, with Lord serving as manager. The business continued until 1957, and was the oldest hardware store in Fresno at the time of its closure.

Addressed to Mr. T. L. Gilbaugh, 230 Clark St., Fresno Cal. Postmarked 1911.
