Westside Hardware Ad Promises Free Parking and Home Improvement Bargains
An early advertisement highlights Westside Hardware offering free parking and a sales pitch by partners Wally Smith and Jack Brookins. They promote ladders, mowers, storm windows, and lawn programs with repairs and a “hospital for ailing mowers.” Nearby businesses include Owen Hoeft’s Gulf Service, Citizens Bank of Saline, and Webster Machine & Tool Co, all in Saline area storefronts.
