Celebrating our family's spring shop 100 years in business

[joe440]

Thought some of you would find this interesting. It's a pretty big milestone for my family and I couldn't be more proud. We are celebrating our spring shop's 100 year anniversary. There was a really nice article in the local paper and some really cool old pictures. I was the first 5th generation employee and it felt great to carry on the tradition. Although I moved across country I know for a fact ill be back there soon to keep the doors open as long as possible with my brothers. Here's the article and slide show with it.

Dude that's awesome!! I can't imagine how hard it would be to adapt with all the "super stores" out there! Must have a great reputation and good ethics to make it thru the tough times and still be plugging along! Congrats!!

Makes our 40 years look minuscule!! LOL!
