Scope and content
Malmo Nursery exterior. This was the nursery portion of the Ernst-Malmo Hardware & Nursery store located in the Villa Plaza in 1964. Gardening and lumber supplies were located in a spacious 25,000 square foot outdoors fenced area with extended aluminum gates. The customers would be able to pull up next to the nursery and load up their vehicles with ease. Ads for the store's grand opening on April 14, 1964, emphasized that the parking lot would have space for 5000 cars. The Ernst-Malmo Hardware store was a one-stop home center catering to the do-it-yourselfer that included a self-service hardware store, lumber store and Malmo nursery. Ronald Sund was the manager of the nursery. Photograph ordered by the News Tribune. (TNT 3-29-64, B-5, TNT 4-14-64, p. 26)
