I thought 84 Lumber was named that because it stocked 84
different kinds of lumber.
I do still on occasion ponder where the name did arrive from.
Ponder no more.
From: http://www.84lumber.com/about/history.asp?type=
"84 Lumber Company's origins date to 1956 when Joseph A. Hardy III
biography_joe.asp?type= opened the
original 'cash and carry' lumber yard in the rural town of Eighty Four,
Pennsylvania,
20 miles south of Pittsburgh."
Bill, that was like educational and informative.
thank you.
