BOOSE ALUMINUM FOUNDRY CO., INC.

What We Do Here Matters!

Since 1933, Boose Aluminum Foundry Co., Inc. (BAF) has been providing Americanmade quality aluminum sand castings to their loyal customers in the military, medical, robotics, power generation, and commercial sectors. Started by Oran B. Boose and his wife, Kathryn, the company cast and painted small trivets, toys and knickknacks.

In the 1940s and 1950s, BAF grew several times. World War II and the Korean War put greater demands on the expanding market for high quality aluminum sand castings; BAF met the challenge, being awarded the Navy “E” for excellence. Oran had a dream to produce and ship 1,000,000 pounds of aluminum castings during a single year. Unfortunately, that dream was not realized until 1977, 12 years after his death. His wife, Kathryn, and son, Vernon, had taken over the business and were preparing for the future of the company, with hopes of carving an even greater niche for itself worldwide.

In the 1990s, BAF installed a thermal reclamation system to make the no-bake sand recyclable. This resulted in a number of positive environmental impacts: reduction of wastes into landfills and conservation of valuable natural resources. Through the 2000s came several new pieces of equipment and upgraded technology. However, in early 2022 a fire destroyed a large portion of the plant. BAF rebounded quickly and began operations within a month after the fire.

BAF takes great pride in the work they do because they know that what they do at BAF matters. The company proudly remains family-owned and operated. BAF is located at 77 North Reamstown Road, Stevens. PA 17578-9493. They can be reached at 717-336-5581 or visit their website at www.boosealum.com.

THE ROBERT M. LOMBARD HYPERBARIC OXYGENATION MEDICAL CENTER, INC.

Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy + Pulsed Electro-

Magnetic Field Therapy = a powerful combination!

Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) is a prescribed medical treatment. A patient breathes pure oxygen in a sealed chamber while the surrounding pressure is increased to a therapeutic level. The increase in pressure dissolves oxygen into the bloodstream and all the fluids of the body. The treatment triggers hundreds of internal biological processes, builds tiny new blood vessels, boosts the immune system and stem cell production, adversely affects many microbes and reduces inflammation and low oxygen areas in the body. This can have a positive impact on a wide range of diagnoses and conditions. Radiation-induced injuries and non-healing diabetic wounds, among other maladies, can be healed with minimal surgical intervention. Other diagnoses can be positively helped with HBOT when traditional medicine needs a boost. When antibiotics alone can’t cure a Lyme disease infection, under hyperbaric oxygenation conditions, the Lyme bacteria can’t survive. The immune system cleans up the dead bacteria and the body begins to repair the damage caused by the bacteria. HBOT can be life changing for patients.

Current studies are underway and show the positive impact hyperbaric oxygenation has had on long-haul COVID-19 patients. HBOT reduces inflammation, repays the lingering ‘oxygen debt’ and initiates healing of previously impacted areas. Patients with reduced cognitive performance (“brain fog”), extreme fatigue, and headaches, among other symptoms, report improvement in their symptoms.

Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) is a non-invasive therapy that helps improve circulation, energy balance, and nutrient uptake. We offer the combination of therapies for the health benefits of our patients.

We are an outpatient clinic that uses 100% oxygen in monoplace chambers. The Nursing Director, Connie Waltz, RN, has over 40 years of experience in the field. For information, please call 717-684-3228, visit HBOXYGEN.COM, or email: hboxygen@earthlink.net. Business hours are by appointment. 255 N. 6th Street, Columbia, PA 17512.

HURSH’S COUNTRY STORE (Two Stores Side-by-Side)

The name “Hursh’s Country Store” is a misnomer. The reason being that Hursh’s Country Store is actually two stores, side-byside! Located at 2425 West Main Street, Hursh’s started out at building A (on the right hand side) back in the Fall of 2014. A few years later, owners Carl and Lori Hursh purchased the building next door (building B) and utilized Carl’s background in construction to renovate an older landmark home into a vital addition to their business.

Ironically enough, it was Carl’s background in construction that led him and Lori to open Hursh’s. Carl’s construction job kept him away from the most important part of his life: his family. The Hursh’s surmised that if they could open a successful store near their home, they would be rewarded with more time together. Their dream soon became a reality, and Hursh’s Country Store was born.

The two buildings house a different set of products. Building A boasts “Farmhouse Style” décor, featuring products from P. Graham Dunn, coupled with traditional wall-art (with much of it made in the U.S.A.), and a large selection of gospel and Christian CDs (once again, many of these recordings are by local musicians). Building B consists of more utilitarian products for the home, including housewares and sewing machines and sewing products. Building B also boasts a large selection of retro style toys for children of all ages. Hursh’s Country Store is one of the only PFAFF product dealers in the area. Carl states that it’s the ability to provide quality PFAFF sewing machines and products to his customers, in order for them to fabricate their own clothing, that has taken his business to the next level. Hursh’s Country Store also does repair work on all makes and models of sewing machines. Carl says that in a day and age where online shopping is all the rage, he enjoys providing his customers with a store where it’s fun to shop, because he feels people still enjoy shopping in person. Hursh’s Country Store can be reached at 717-721-2575.

BEYOND THE FORK IN THE ROAD - Senior Moving Solutions

“Thank you to you and your crew for all that you did (above and beyond) to move my parents. I could never have done it by myself, so it was a huge relief just to put it all in your competent hands. Both my parents and I felt cared for by you and your crew and that is a large, positive endorsement for your company. I’ve been singing your praises to those who ask how we got everything accomplished.” As evidenced by this positive review from a client, moving doesn’t have to be stressful. The staff at Beyond The Fork In The Road provides customized moving solutions for seniors. The compassionate team works to ease the physical and emotional toll on seniors transitioning to a new home. They are there to help with packing, unpacking, resettling and managing every aspect of your move.

Before the move occurs, space in the new location is assessed as well as any limitations determined by the community. You receive a magnetic floor plan of your new home, complete with your furniture in position. You have the ability to move furniture and visualize your new living space prior to making final decisions about what to relocate to your new home. Beyond The Fork In The Road uses color coded totes to pack so movers know which room the tote goes to, which decreases time and cost. The totes are sanitized between uses.

One of the most appreciated services they offer is the unpacking process. Furniture, clothing and any other items will be moved and carefully unpacked so that your new home is in move-in condition. Utensils will be in drawers, dishes will be on shelves, clothing will be hung in your closet, and even your bed will be made! All you do is come home and relax. Beyond the Fork In The Road belongs to a national organization that has a network of Move Managers all over the country. They are also accredited by the National Association of Senior Move Managers – SMM-C, a certification offered only by this organization. What is done with all the unwanted items? Beyond The Fork In The Road saw this need and started a consignment shop that gives back 60% to their clients to help offset the cost of their move. Every sell-able item is tagged for their store; eBay and MarketPlace are used for higher end items. Other options for asset disposition include gifting to family members, auction and donation.

Beyond The Fork In The Road understands moving can cause a lot of emotional upheaval. They will work beside you in a manner that is supportive, patient and considerate.

TONE TAILORS

Tone Tailors opened its doors in downtown Lancaster in March of 2015. In September of 2017, after establishing themselves to musicians in the area, they moved to Lititz, PA to take advantage of their new location’s proximity to the recently-constructed Rock Lititz Plaza. The 4,000-square foot space inside of Pod #2 of the plaza is triple the size of the original store, and enabled owners John Paul “JP” Painton (not pictured) and John LeClair to expand their guitar inventory, and house a gigantic stock of other musical instruments such as drums, keyboards, amplifiers, accessories and more.

Co-owner Painton states that Tone Tailors’ ability to listen to the constant feedback of their customers, and take the feedback to heart in order to provide the best service possible, is what makes them stand out from the competition. Co-owner LeClair adds that with their spacious shop, enormous inventory, and knowledgeable staff the store can live up to it’s alliterative, descriptive name.

Now, five and a half years after the move to Lititz, Tone Tailors has established themselves as the premier music shop in all of Lancaster County. They feature equipment from guitar makers like Fender, PRS and Martin, and have created a special niche for local musicians by featuring the most expansive line of effects pedals imaginable. They also carry a huge amount of accessories such as guitar strings, cables, straps, tuners and more. Need work on your guitar?

SHANK DOOR

The Shank Door company is happily celebrating 59 years of service within the community. With a variety of doors available to both residential and commercial clients, Shank Door has grown to be the largest garage door installer across the region.

The success of this local business began in Harrisonburg, Virginia in the 1950s by Ralph Shank when he started selling and installing garage doors. With hard work, discipline and the heart of a true entrepreneur, Ralph moved to Baltimore for a short time and then moved to Myerstown in 1964. He began selling doors out of his basement and as his reputation for excellent service, superior labor and remarkable products spread throughout the community, the business continued to prosper. The current location of Shank Door at Myerstown was originally a farm belonging to Ralph’s brother, Aaron Shank. Ira Mast, the company’s first associate, was hired in 1971. In 1973, the farm officially became the established site for the business. Ralph decided to sell the business to Ira in 1976. He remained in some capacity following the transition. They also have a team working out of their Lancaster warehouse location.

Ira placed high importance on thoroughness and continued growing the company competently and yielding growth. Despite a fire in 1982 when the building burned, Ira persevered and Shank Door rebounded and several new additions were built. The success of Shank Door is due to God-given opportunities, loyal contractors and customers.

While styles and times have certainly changed from Ralph’s initial interest in doors, the market for quality, durability and function has not. Employing approximately 90 people, Shank Door maintains the reputation of quality and hard work set forth by Ralph. This commitment has earned them excellent reviews on Google and Angie’s List, as well as countless customer referrals. Overhead, entry and car wash doors, roll up screens and retractable awnings are among the products available for residential or commercial clients. If you are looking for any of these products and need an installation team that is highly skilled, please call Shank Door. Their phone number is 717-738-4499. You may also view their website at www.shankdoor.com for more information. Their hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or by appointment. 24-hour emergency service is available.

EPHRATA YOUTH CHEERLEADING PROGRAM, INC.

In 2017, Lisa Copenhaver was faced with a dilemma. The Ephrata Recreation Center no longer sponsored a midget cheerleading program, but the community still needed a vehicle in which to teach and coach cheerleading to the local youth. It was then that Copenhaver decided to take matters into her own hands, and founded the Ephrata Youth Cheerleading Program, Inc. Because Copenhaver founded the business, she decided to take the bull by the horns, and create a unique program that promotes cheerleading, while helping the girls learn in a fun filled atmosphere.

Alongside program President Kim Capwill, and family members Megan Copenhaver (Vice President) and Brittany Copenhaver (Secretary/Treasurer), Copenhaver decided that her fledgling business would be a non-schoolrelated organization, and be totally independent, subsisting on registration fees and fundraising events only. Copenhaver’s next step was to assemble Board Members and a coaching staff that would attain all the necessary federal, state and child abuse history clearances needed to make her dream a reality.

Now, five years later, Copenhaver is proud to have such a dedicated staff of coaches and instructors who can provide each young lady with one-on-one guidance, helping them to attain their individual goals. Copenhaver states that she gets an immense sense of gratification from seeing the girls push themselves to their limits and beyond. She welcomes input from the children’s parents and encourages their involvement in their child’s endeavors. Want to learn more?

Ed Kocher, along with his wife Charlotte, started in the hearing aid profession nearly 40 years ago. As the original Founders of Advanced Tech Hearing Aid Centers, along with their daughters, Jennifer and Farrah (owner of Lewisburg, PA office), and their son, Dr. Christopher Kocher, AuD, their company has grown to be one of the largest and premier Hearing Aid businesses in the Central PA area. They truly are a “family-owned” business.

We believe every patient deserves sincere and honest service that exceeds their expectations. We treat you with the same care and concern as if you were a friend or family member. We continually provide that service by keeping abreast of the latest hearing aid technology and offer a selection of hearing aids manufactured by the best names in the industry.

Our prices are always reasonable and our service is unmatched by anyone, including having a repair lab on the premises. We offer a “try before you buy” program as we want anyone considering hearing aids not to worry about making a down payment, getting overwhelmed with technology or anything else. We simply want you to experience what it is like to hear what you have been missing and determine how much hearing aids will help you better your quality of life with good hearing. The real test takes place in your everyday life which is why we started offering this program many years ago. All you need to do is wear them for a week or so and just listen and experience the world around you to determine if the timing is right for you to take the step to better hearing. There is no cost or obligation on your part at all!

Hearing loss impacts more than you think and isn’t just an ear issue; it’s a quality of life and health issue. Growing evidence indicates that older adults with hearing loss are more likely to experience the symptoms of cognitive decline. Hearing aids can improve the negative effects of hearing loss on the brain.

Some of the effects of Untreated Hearing Loss are: increased mental fatigue/stress, poorer memory, difficulty focusing, poorer mental health, social withdrawal and depression.

We want you to “hear what you are missing,” so please call today 717-560-5023.

Advanced Tech Hearing Aid Centers is located at 1887 Lititz Pike, Lancaster. Their website is www.adtechctrs.com

Schwanger Brothers & Co., Inc. is a third-generation, small family owned and operated business that still answers the phone and provides one-on-one customer service.

Propane is also offered for home and business. We offer competitive pricing for propane, and if you don’t have your own tank, Schwanger Bros. may be able to loan you a tank with the option to buy it in the future. We don’t charge extra fees or delivery charges, and in most cases setting up auto delivery will waive the propane leak check fee.

In addition to providing quality fuels, Schwanger Bros. also has a full service and installation department of staff to handle all of your residential and light commercial heating, air conditioning and plumbing needs. We service all major brands of oil, propane, natural gas, heat pump and air conditioning systems.

We are proud to be Lancaster’s Number-One Heating Oil Provider. Various services include automatic delivery, where computerized systems know when you need oil and it is delivered before you need it, and will call, which is same-day service. We also have an emergency service, which provides oil 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Budget plans, which allow you to evenly spread your heating costs throughout the year, are also available.

If the thought of dealing with a local, family-owned business run with integrity still is important to you, then we invite you to call us or stop in our office and talk with one of our staff about what you need.

SPARROW FAMILY MEDICINE

Sparrow Family Medicine is a direct primary care practice that opened their Akron-based office in December of 2022. Originally founded in October of the same year, Sparrow Family Medicine is a membership-based practice, rather than insurancebased. Benefits of a membership-based practice include: Visits customized to your needs, afterhours access to your physician, transparent pricing and additional savings on lab work, medication and imaging.

Owner/founder Candice Cavicchia Miller (MD) is a graduate of Messiah College and Jefferson Medical College. Her experience in the field of medicine includes time at a local family practice and Lancaster General Hospital. Dr. Cavicchia Miller states that a membership-based practice like Sparrow Family Medicine offers more individualized care, and it is often more affordable for patients, especially for those with high deductibles or healthcare sharing plans, but the benefits of a membership-based practice are for all patients, regardless of insurance.

Patients commonly have many frustrations with the current medical system, including: Rushed visits, long waits to get appointments, even longer waits in the waiting room to see the physician, and being unable to access your physician after hours with questions and urgent concerns. It is because of these reasons, Cavicchia decided to open her business. She wanted to care for patients without the limitations of insurance-based practices. Patients are still able to use their insurance for any care needed outside of Sparrow Family Medicine.

Dr. Cavicchia Miller states: “When I or my family members are sick, I want to know that someone cares for my family like I do. Everyone deserves to have that someone, and that’s why I created Sparrow. I value the old school patient to physician relationship that is now so challenging to provide in an insurance-based practice. We want to be here for you.” The cost for membership at Sparrow Family Practice varies according to age. Sparrow Family Practice is located at 240 North 7th Street, Suite 500, Akron, Pa. 17501. They can be reached at 717-478-3850 or at www.sparrowfamilymedicine.com. Their hours are Mon. through Fri. 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. by appointment only.

YMCA Camp Conrad Weiser first opened its doors in 1948. For 75 years their staff and volunteers have worked to connect kids in the outdoors while offering exciting programs that teach values like caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Providing outdoor experiences for children and families has become more critical as they seek to provide a space where people can explore nature and build meaningful relationships away from screens.

The South Mountain YMCA Camps, Bynden Wood Day Camp and Camp Conrad Weiser are summer camp destinations for young people, offering traditional camp programs, literary theme camps, horseback riding experiences, as well as leadership and adventure camps. In addition, families and school groups visit the mountain for family camps and outdoor-environmental education programs year-round.

“We offer a huge selection of outdoor camp activities, and we work with campers and counselors from around the world,” says Cory Evans, Senior Program Director. “It’s a special place with 12 to 15 countries represented each summer. It’s the United Nations of camping,” he continued with a smile. In addition to in-bound international travel programs, Camp Conrad Weiser also offers out-bound programs in which a group of local students travel abroad to take part in summer camp programs with YMCAs in Germany and Spain.

One camper parent shared her experience with the South Mountain YMCA Camps in this way: It’s the best camp in the area for so many reasons: traditions decades old, activities for every age, off-season programming for all ages, a beautiful setting, safe, educational, and fun - everything you could want in a summer camp!

The South Mountain YMCA Camps takes pride to make sure everyone feels welcome, is supported in finding their voice, and has the environment to learn new skills and build meaningful relationships

At a time when most banks are re-evaluating and closing their brick-and-mortar branch offices, Bank of Bird-in-Hand has “added to the flock,” with the opening of branches in Manheim and Schaefferstown in 2022.

Since its beginning in 2013 with just 10 employees and one branch, Bank of Bird-in-Hand now has over 140 employees, six branches, and a fleet of Mobile Branches - fully equipped RVs offering everything you’d find in any bank building. These “Gelt Buses,” named for the word “money” in Pennsylvania Dutch, allow Bank of Bird-in-Hand to bring services to those who traditionally have been underserved by the banking industry, including Lancaster County’s Plain Community. They also continue to provide services, such as telephone banking and courier services, that have gone by the wayside at other banks.

Also in those ten years, its initial $17 million in starting capital has grown to over $1 billion in total assets.

In October 2022, Bank of Bird-in-Hand opened its Manheim branch, located at 118 Doe Run Road. Just a few weeks later in November 2022, the Bank’s Schaefferstown Branch opened its doors at 2483 Stiegel Pike, in the shopping center anchored by Dutch-Way Farm Market and Good’s Store. “Community pride and strong work ethic are at the heart of what makes the towns of Manheim and Schaefferstown special places to live and work, and they align with the values of Bank of Bird-in-Hand,” shares Kevin J. McClarigan, CPA, Chairman of the Board for Bank of Bird-in-Hand. “Entering these two communities now expands the reach of the Bank into Lebanon County and strengthens its presence in Northern Lancaster County. It is a testament to the entire staff, Board of Directors and shareholders, and their commitment to delivering a quality banking experience focused on building relationships.”

You can also catch the Bank of Bird-in-Hand Mobile Branches on the road and stationed at Nolt’s Greenhouse Supply (Ephrata) on Mondays, Root’s Market (Manheim) on Tuesdays, and Meadowcreek BBQ Supply (New Holland) on Thursdays.

HAYLOFT ICE CREAM

The Allegany Boys Camp Board had been praying about the possibility of having an ice cream or thrift store as a means of support for their boy’s camp. The camp for troubled boys is located in western Maryland. In 2017, when the Yoder family decided to close Hayloft Candles, they offered to lease the building to the camp to start an ice cream shop. The new business was named Hayloft Ice Cream and all the staff, other than the managers, are volunteers. Some volunteers come from other states and serve as volunteers for a year. The restaurant is non-profit and all of their proceeds go to the camp. Every purchase made at Hayloft Ice Cream will help make a difference in a camper’s life.

MARTINDALE MATTRESS

In a world of huge big-box stores and mega corporations, shopping for a mattress today can be a daunting task. With such impersonal choices as shopping online, or submitting to existing as a faceless, nameless number at a mass-produced warehouse, where does one turn to in order to receive a personal touch while purchasing a high quality mattress? This is a question that Sheldon Martin, owner of Martindale Mattress, asked himself while he was working at a local building supply business.

While learning his craft at this business, Martin was presented with an opportunity to sell high quality mattresses at a fraction of the price of the larger, more imposing opposition. After speaking with family, friends and neighbors, Martin realized that there was indeed a potential market for a mattress supplier with a personal touch.

So in 2019, with this information in hand, Sheldon Martin and his wife Lucille decided to open Martindale Mattress. Martin is quick to point out the differences in his business and the larger corporate entities, including the fact that he sells the same high-quality mattresses larger companies offer at greatly discounted prices. These mattresses are factory blems with little or no defects, which is why they are offered at such discounted prices. Martin also offers a local delivery service for a small fee. Martin states that the majority of his clients learned about his business through word of mouth and through local advertising, and that they prefer his small-town individualized touch rather than the impersonal approach of the larger retail stores. Martin gets a great sense of satisfaction from helping keep the cost of living down for his clients by offering quality mattresses at affordable prices. Martin also wants to get the word out that he has expanded his business, and now sells furniture such as office chairs, three-piece couches, love-seats and recliner sets and more.

You can visit Martindale Mattress at 114 Hurst Road, Ephrata, PA 17522. Their hours are Mon., Tues., Thurs., and Fri. 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sat., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Wednesdays by appointment. They are closed on Sundays. You can reach them at 717-445-9153.

Beginning in Lancaster County in 1932, the story of John F. Martin & Sons is one of hardship and perseverance of faith. The company’s namesake, John F. Martin, was a local farmer working to support his young family through the Great Depression. What John realized was that he could bring his family through the challenges of the time by selling fresh produce and farm-raised poultry at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. Unwavering in his commitment to family and community, John traveled to and from Reading Terminal Market every week for 21 years until 1961, when he decided to open a butcher shop on his family farm and sell meat at local markets. Along with his five sons, John would go on to establish John F. Martin & Sons, selling high-quality, farm-raised meat products to communities throughout Pennsylvania.

Today, John F. Martin & Sons continues to follow its long-standing tradition of bringing high-quality products to its customers while steadfastly committing to family values, community, and excellent customer service.

ALL METAL ROOFING SPECIALISTS

“We’re not the biggest, just the best.” This has always been the motto of All Metal Roofing Specialists, LLC since it was founded. A spin-off of ACR Metal Roofing Distributors, All Metal was started in response to a struggling economy where there were a lot of good workers that needed jobs. Roofs still needed to be replaced and metal was, and is, a great option. Family-owned and operated, we at All Metal believe every home can benefit from a metal roof. Metal roofing is environmentally friendly with at least 25% post-consumer recycled material, and metal can be installed over old shingles, saving landfill space. A metal roof also acts as a radiant heat barrier, which will reduce your attic temperature in the summer by 20 to 30 degrees to offer increased energy efficiency and reduced cooling costs. We install only the best metal roofing, and our years of experience will help in choosing the right product that is durable and attractive for your home.

As you go through the process of selecting a contractor, it can be difficult to know who you should trust with your home. We’ve worked in the home improvement industry for over 25 years, and we’ve heard our customers say many times that choosing a reputable contractor is the most daunting task. Visit our website at www.allmetalroofs.com. We want to make sure that our clients feel that they have made the right decision in choosing our company. We will take the time to fully understand your roofing needs and answer all your questions. After a comprehensive analysis, we will recommend a solution based on your preferences, your needs, and your budget. We will work hard to save you both time and money. You will never spend any money that is not necessary, only what is required to do the job right. We would love to work with you to craft a high-quality, custom roof that’s perfect for your home.

RABER’S TIRE

According to John Raber, running a small business that is family owned and operated is the only way to go. When Raber’s Tire opened their doors in 2008, John and his son Jarren worked together to do whatever it took to bring customers satisfaction. Their dedication to this principle caused the business to grow in leaps and bounds, bringing John and Jarren to the point where they couldn’t keep up anymore. John decided to hire his nephew, Jeff Mast. With the help of another family member, Raber’s Tire is ready to help and satisfy even more customers, without having to sacrifice their desire to remain family owned and operated. John started his career at the age of 21 in a family owned and operated retail tire shop. The business was owned by John’s brother-in-law. “It’s been a blessing to work with family members,” comments John. For three years, John continued to work with his brother-in-law as a shop foreman. In 1997, John opened his own tire shop in Cambridge, Ohio. Under the clear leading of God, John and his family moved to Ephrata in 2008. Raber’s Tire opened in the spring of the same year.

Upon opening, John wanted to reflect his family’s desire to honor and glorify God in everything they did, including changing tires. This desire hasn’t changed as they still seek to serve Him, as they serve you. They thank and glorify God for prospering His business abundantly. John characterizes the tire business as hard work, but also very satisfying and enjoyable. He always looks forward to the next day at work.

“Big and small, we do them all” describes the tire inventory available to customers. Passenger, light truck, farm, lawn and semi-tires are available for purchase. Raber’s features Yokohama brand tires. Yokohama offers a full range of styles and sizes and with factory direct ordering Raber’s is able to offer this great brand of tires at amazing prices. They also carry many other major tire brands such as Bridgestone, Firestone, Michelin and Goodyear. Also, if you are looking for low cost tires, Raber’s Tire has them as well. They always try to keep economy level tires in stock. Super Savings are also offered on all name brand tires. At Raber’s Tire, “Service Sells and Quality Tells.”

The Raber team also mounts and balances all tires purchased for free. Service to customers is always the number one priority. If you are looking for unbeatable prices, as well as quality tires and service, stop by Raber’s Tire at 743 East Main Street, Ephrata.
