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. You're welcome. OK, we know why the lumber yard was named 84, so why was the town named Eighty Four? No definite answer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighty_Four,_Pennsylvania -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |
