Historical NoteReturn to Top

The first meeting of the directors of the Star Hardware and Implement Company was held in Craigmont (then named Ilo,) Idaho, on March 18, 1914. Charles Giles was elected president, John A. Collins, vice-president, and Clyde E. Clovis, secretary and treasurer. From the minutes of this meeting it appears that the Star company had recently purchased the Ilo Hardware and Implement Company. In January 1930 the Star company was purchased by Craigmont Hardware Company.
