EM EMHEli WHEN...
A Hardware Store Was A Hardware Store?
Fifth-grade students at St. Simons Elementary watched with anticipa
tion as representatives of the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, the Georgia
Aquarium and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources prepared
to release "Joey," a loggerhead sea turtle, into the Atlantic Ocean.
Joey had been in captivity at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta and
had outgrown his tank. The release, held recently on the beach across
the street from St. Simons Elementary, kicked off the school's marine
science initiative that will help students learn about the unique coastal
environment in which they live. Representatives from the three organi
zations involved in the release also presented an educational program
on sea turtle ecology and conservation.

Well, that store still exists and it’s closer than you think, right in the heart
of historic downtown Brunswick. It might not look the same but we
pride ourselves on being a hardware store. After 140 years, we’ve had a
few facelifts but our basic principles are the same. We’re here to help our
customers with friendly personal attention.
Ask us how you stop that leaky faucet without buying a new one. Ask
us if you need to choose an authentic Victorian paint color. We can tell
you how to replace that broken glass in the door or fix up your lawn. We
can exchange that propane tank for the afternoon cookout or just pick
up a bag of charcoal. Just remember, we may not know all the answers
but... “If we don’t know, we’ll find out.” We’ve been located behind the
City Libriry for over a hundred years. Come by and visit, we’re here to
help. Stop by and check out our mis-tint paint sale: inside/outside paint
$2/quart, $8/gallon while supplies last.
