H. B. RICHARDSON.
H. B. Richardson is president of the Richardson Company, owning and controlling the leading department store of Lovell. The business had its inception when he purchased the Lovell grocery and meat market, organizing and incorporating the business under the name of The Richardson Company, with H. B. Richardson as the president and treasurer, F. P. Richardson as vice president and Peter Brand as secretary of the company. The newly incorporated company extended their business to include lines of men's furnishings, boots and shoes. This modest extension of their business was during the construction period of the plant of the Great 'Western Sugar Company and Lovell's modern business building, known as the Snyder block. After the completion of the Snyder block The Richardson Company secured commodious quarters in the new building and enlarged their business, adding a thoroughly modern line of dry goods and also a line of ladies' ready-to-wear clothing. The company has anticipated the wants of their customers, their goods are the best that the market affords and their styles the most modern and attractive that New York city creates. They inaugurated the delivery system in Lovell and introduced into the town the most progressive business methods. By reason of this their business has steadily grown and developed and their trade has now reached very satisfactory and gratifying proportions. On the 1st of November, 1917, they opened a branch store in Cowley, known as Richardson's Clothes Shop, where they handle men's and women's ready-to-wear clothing. The firm in less than two years has built up a business amounting to seventy-five thousand dollars annually and has a bright future before it.
