HOWARD C. ELMORE Phifer Hardware sold to Crouse hardwareman Phifer Hardware, the city's old- est hardware and the second oldest retail business, has been sold to Crouse hardwareman Howard C. Elmore. Elmore purchased the business for an undisclosed price from Menzell Phifer and his children, Don Phifer and Jean Phifer Bumgardner. Mrs. Bumgardner, who grew up in the business, will continue with the firm. Her father will continue on a part-time basis. Don Phifer has entered the real es- tate business. : Elmore expects to hire part- time workers and to expand the lawn and garden department and offer specialty fertilizer, plants and shrubbery. "I want to offer the same friend- ly service that the Phifers have pro- vided Kings Mountain people,” he said. Elmore, native of Lincoln County, formerly managed a hard- ware store in Lincolnton. He has been in the hardware business since 1976. Son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Elmore of Vale, he is married to the former Linda Freeman and they have two sons, Kyle, 8, and Kevin, who will be two in November. ; They are active in St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Crouse and will continue to reside on St. Mark's Church Road in Crouse. Elmore says he sees the opportu- nity in Kings Mountain for a growing market and plans to build on the Phifer reputation for giving fine service to the community. "I am excited," he says. Campbell Phifer, father of Wendell, Marriott and Menzell Phifer, launched his family in the hardware business in 1924, al- though he had been a hardwareman since 1906. Menzell Phifer and his two children have owned the firm since 1984 when the brothers re- tired from the business.
