The exhibit that the Society presented at the SPCCC EXPO in Guilford on April 4 and 5 has now been installed at the Abbott Memorial Library. It features information on Tillsons True Value Hardware, which began as H. L. Tillson in 1900. This fourth generation business occupied a part of its current building from 1900 to 1903. Tillson subsequently formed partnerships with Dana Crockett and later with Henry Drew and was located in several different places before buying the west side of the current store in 1921 and incorporating as H. L. Tillson & Co. in 1924.
