Stotzer Hardware?

Stotzer's Hardware is my roots.  Yes, I started Stotzer's Software and do consulting work on the side, but there is also a Stotzer's Hardware, and it's been around for much longer.  Stotzer's Hardware is in it's 5th generation and on the same corner in Archbold, Ohio USA for over 150 years.  Archbold is my hometown, and I worked at the hardware store for about one and a half years when I was in high school.   I remember many days after school of sorting nuts and bolts with my grandfather, Harold Stotzer, at Stotzer's Hardware.

My Great, Great Grandfather, Ruedolf Fredrick Stotzer came over to the United States over 150 years ago to start a better life.  He was the first Mayor of my Hometown, Archbold, Ohio and started Stotzer's Harness & Carriage Shop.  After the automobile and tractors put carriages and harnesses out of work, the store was turned into a hardware and appliance business.   Today it's called "Stotzer Do-It Center", and is still on the same corner.
