Jim Hacker of Iron City Hardware, with the Golden Hammers he received for 50 years in business. Iron City Hardware has been named Best Hardware Store in the Tri-State.

A family tradition Iron City Hardware a staple of downtown By Heath Harrison

F

or more than 90 years and three generations, Iron City Hardware has been serving customers in Ironton, from its same familiar location at 16 116 S. Third St. Jim Hacker said the business, which was voted Best Hardware Store by The Tribune’s readers, was founded in 1926 by his grandfather, Herman Hacker and his grand uncle, Henry. It was then passed to his father, Don, and his uncle John, before going to Jim and his brother, Dan. A native of Ironton who attended St. Lawrence Elementary, Jim said he started working at the store at the age of 14, when he was in high school. During the summers, he would help unload deliveries from a railcar that was left in town, transferring the cargo to the store’s stock. Following high school, he began working at the store full time.

He said, outside of his time in the U.S. Army Reserve, it has been pretty much the only job he has had. With a staff of six, the store offers tools, hardware, plumbing, appliances, a second floor with a display of a full line of furniture, for which they offer free delivery. Hacker was happy to be named by The Tribune’s readers as a favorite. “It’s a good attaboy,” he said. Hacker said in addition to Ironton customers, they draw visitors from around the Tri-State, for which he is grateful. “It’s tough to compete with the big box stores, but they know we offer more services they want,” he said. Recently, Hacker was honored for his long career in the business by the Ohio Hardware Association. He was presented with the Golden Hammer award, something his father and uncle have also received. He said that, after 60 years, a Golden Hacksaw is presented. “I hope to hang around long enough to get one,” he said.

Charlie’s Tire Sales, specializing in tires and batteries, has been serving the city of Ironton since 1963. The business is located at 413 S. Third St.

Quality and Service Charlie’s Tire Sales has been serving Ironton since 1963 By Dustin Melchior If you’re from Ironton, you’ve probably heard of Charlie’s Tire Sales, which has been in business in the city since the early 1960s. “The business was started in 1963 by our dad, Charlie Haas,” Mike Haas, one of the co-owners along with his brother, Charlie Haas Jr., said. “He passed away in 1977, and we took over at that time.” Haas said that the business was originally located next to where the current Yvonne DeKay School of Dance is, but on the back on S. Second Street, and was forced to move to its new location on S. Third as part of a bridge project. “We moved to our current location in March of 2011 after being at the other spot for more than 40

years,” Haas said. He said that what sets the business apart from others like it is the quality customer service people can expect. “We take great pride in giving quality customer service, and that’s what’s helped us be successful all these years,” Haas said. “We offer a good product at a very reasonable price, and I think that’s what sets us apart in the industry and led to our success in being in business for so long.” Mike and Charlie Haas Jr. were both born and raised in Ironton, and are graduates of St. Joseph High School and Ohio University in Athens. THE TRIBUNE/DUSTIN MELCHIOR Charlie’s Tire Sales is an independent dealer, and offers all of the Mike Haas, a co-owner of Charlie’s Tire Sales in Ironton, works at the front desk. major brands, specializing in tires and batteries.

Building a base of trust

River Cities Motors has served multiple generations of repeat customers By Heath Harrison ASHLAND — For 34 years, River Cities Motors has been a familiar destination for those seeking a good deal on a pre-owned car. Located on Greenup Avenue in Ashland, the dealership is one of the first businesses people see when crossing into Ashland from the bridge over the Ohio River. Owner David Brislin said they offer everything from “the latest models with low mileage to affordable work cars and everything in between.” Founded in 1984, the business has a staff of five and Brislin says many are familiar faces to repeat customers, from Georgia, who serves as office manger and handles paperwork and titles, to Ron Akers, who has been working in sales for 25 years. In addition to being named the Best Used Car Dealership in The Tribune’s “Best of” feature, the business has been recognized by a number of publications and honors, all of which

Brislin has hanging on the wall. Brislin, an Ironton native, says one reason for their popularity is their prices. “We try to offer competitive prices,” THE TRIBUNE/HEATH HARRISON he said. “We never charge the dealer and dock fees that other dealers do. Owner David Brislin, far right, and the team at River Cities Motors, which was named Best Used Car Dealer in the Tri-State. We never have and never will.” He said they also have a person on staff to allow the company do its own detailing, which helps to keep costs low. He says they see a lot of customer loyalty, with many coming back over 2018 the years to trade in a car they’ve purchased and got a good deal of use from. He said they have built a base of te trust with customers. i-Sta r T e “They come in when they’re ready th for an update, Brislin said. “”It always makes you feel great.” He also says, as the years have gone by, they have seen multiple generations of families return. “We get a lot of repeat business,” he said. “People come, then their kids and their grandkids. They keep coming back. It’s humbling and rewarding.”
