Ken Davis and Sons in Something Directory

 

Ken Davis & Sons, Inc. got its start in the small rural central Ohio community of Richwood in 1949. At that time our founder, Ken Davis, bought a hardware store in partnership with Glenn Hughes, and they opened the Davis-Hughes Hardware Company. Many rural hardware stores of that era had a few Phoenix and Diamond keg shoes and Capewell nails as a part of the normal inventory. Ken was an avid horseman with a special interest in the standardbreds. It was through his association with the standardbred shoers that he started to add Willie Charlie rasps, McGraw Brothers swedge molds, Heller tools, leather pads, and Miller Scossa pads to the inventory. As the inventory grew, so did the demand for better service. The track shoers started asking him if he could deliver their supplies. Ken saw this as a way to combine business with pleasure, since he rarely missed an opportunity to take in the races. Soon he was making trips to Painesville, Detroit, Lexington and Chicago with the trunk and back seat of his car loaded down with horseshoeing supplies.
