Local kids shoot some hoops as a CTA train passes overhead. This fenced-in playground - a common sight in major American cities but seldom modeled - is on Terry Gaskin's O scale rapid transit layout.
Terry is our guest on Episode 41.
It's a rare sight. Nowadays, Malaysia's construction work force consists mostly of foreigners. Malaysia government will be bringing in another 40,000 (legally) more foreigners on top of the 3.1 mil (legal and illegal) who are already residing in Malaysia. They were sitting under the shelter because it was raining.

Finding the Right Match
Richner Hardware Discovers House Hasson Wholesale Hardware
When the economy is slow, unemployment is high and people are buying only the essentials, hardware retailers understand they need to keep their expenses under control. For Dave Murch, that was becoming increasingly difficult while buying from Ace Hardware.
“The high fees were an issue. Either I got too small for them or they got too big for me,” says Murch, who operates Richner Hardware in Twinsburg, Ohio.
Luckily he had a good backup plan. He had bought products from House Hasson Wholesale Hardware for a period of time about five years ago, and he decided to give them a shot at being his main supplier. He’s been buying solely from House Hasson Wholesale Hardware since July.
“House Hasson understands our needs as an independent, family-owned store,” says He Murch. “It’s no secret that we face a great deal of competition from the home improvement mega-stores in the area, so we’re constantly looking for ways to stay competitive and offer our customers the best products and service available. We’re confident this new partnership will enable us to stand strong as a local, family-owned business and continue to compete with the big guys.”
He had not seen his Ace rep in three years, and is pleased with the increased attention he receives from his new supplier. “We’re pretty self-sufficient, but it’s nice to know help is available if needed,” Murch says. “The folks at House Hasson Wholesale Hardware are service-oriented and I see my salesman, Bernie Sinclair, every week.”
He notes that Don Hasson stopped in to see him several years ago and Taylor Hasson dropped by in June. “It’s amazing to get that feeling of being wanted. House Hasson Wholesale Hardware has a personal touch that’s so important,” Murch says.”
That’s just like the personal touch that Richner Hardware provides to its customers, the type of personal service that can’t be found at the five big boxes that are nearby. “A customer will say to me, ‘I remember when my dad brought me in here,’ but I’m still amazed at how many people don’t know we’re here,” Murch says.
To change that, he has begun using the House Hasson Wholesale Hardware circulars and promotes the fact the store has been “On the square since 1919.” After all, Richner Hardware is the oldest family-owned business in Twinsburg.
Their daughter is giving the business a shot in the arm by setting them up with a Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/RichnerHardware). For now, she is the one handling all the postings until Murch becomes more familiar with it. She posts hardware tips of the day and seasonal tips and has even been promoting the benefits of Gray Seal’s no-VOC paint line—Extraordin-aire™. They promote the store’s Facebook page on the back of coupons. “We have 145 fans and it’s starting to build momentum,” Murch says.
His wife, Liz Terrill-Murch, helps out by taking care of the books. It was her great-grandfather, Charles Richer, that started the business in 1919. Murch, who has been involved in the business for 31 years, says the store’s current location sits on the site of the original building, although his father-in-law built a new building there in the 1970s. Antique farm tools grace the walls, a reminder of the business’ deep roots in the community.
Including a downstairs selling area, the salesfloor totals 8,000 square feet of space, focused on the basics in the core categories. “I’m constantly looking for a good niche, but it’s elusive. Maybe I should put up a sign that says ‘Mom and Pop Hardware,’” Murch says. He finds people come into his store for the little stuff but go to the big boxes for bigger projects.
“With access now to more than 50,000 name-brand items, we’ll be able to carry and order just about anything our customers could need or want,” he adds.
