Dunsmuir Hardware

The traditional hardware store of Dunsmuir - California's historic railroad town. Founded by Dunsmuir's first mayor - Alexander Levy - in 1894 and continuing today as a full service TRUE VALUE hardware store. This blog is simply intended to be a running commentary on operating a century old small town hardware store. Also please check our our website at www.dunsmuirhardware.com

CHARLIE


There is a new hardware store dog! Charlie is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and he came to live with us at just 8 weeks old. He has a tough act to follow. His uncle Buddy (click on February 2007 in the Archives) slipped away from us almost two years ago. Charlie will never replace Buddy in our hearts but - - - look at those eyes - - - he's already carved a new place for himself in our hearts. He won't be showing up for work for a while due to certain manners that need to be learned (housebreaking for one), but will be in the store when the time is right.
Meantime we're back into winter mode - - - the rain has started and so has sales of roof patch, tarps, weatherstripping, heaters, hats and gloves. Haven't sold a snow shovel yet - - - but it won't be long.

I just took a walk down memory lane and wound up in Dunsmuir... this is the first time in almost three and a half years I felt a little home sick! To this day I wear my Dunsmuir Hardware shirt proudly! Thank you again for all the love and kindness, understanding and patients you showed...
Sorry to hear about Buddy... but charley is just about the cutest pup I’ve ever seen!
I think about you often I pray you are both doing well and healthy.
In His Love, His Stewart
