I think I owned houses using some of these styles.

Old Cussins and Fearn Catolog 1908
I have a 1908 Cussins and Fearn catalog which I am attempting to scan to my computer. The catalog is quite large and my scanner is quite slow.
Cussins and Fearn was a large hardware company that had stores through out Ohio and maybe other states. They also had a mail order division.
It looks as if they catered to the Farmer which makes a lot of sense in 1908.
Cussins and Fearn was in business well into the 1980's I believe. I am not sure when they closed or sold.
They were an early pioneer into the Discount Store business. They opened Discount Stores in Ohio and named them Buckeye Mart. By 1966 Gambles-Skogmo bought them and operated them as Gambles Buckeye Mart. When Gambles opened another Discount store division they merged them and were renamed Gambles Tempo Buckeye Mart
Gambles sold the Buckeye Marts to Fisher Big Wheel in 1978 and the stores became Fisher Tempo Buckeye Mart. Fisher's later renamed the stores to Fisher Big Wheel . Fisher closed their operation in the 90's ending the Cussins and Fearn lineage.
