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.
