Scope and content
Ernst Hardware exterior. Ernst Hardware & Lumber portion of the Ernst-Malmo Hardware & Nursery store located at the Villa Plaza Shopping Center. The large Ernst-Malmo company would be opening soon after this April 10, 1964, photograph was taken. Catering primarily to the do-it-yourselfer, customers could obtain much of their homeowners needs of lumber, hardware, and gardening supplies all at one location. The new Villa Plaza store was part of the 11-store Northwest owned hardware-lumber chain with home offices in Seattle. Both Ernst Hardware and Malmo Nursery were divisions of Pay N Save Corp. Howard Quigley, store manager, would be wearing the familiar bright yellow jacket associated with Ernst during grand opening ceremonies on April 14, 1964. Photograph ordered by the News Tribune.
