I’m too frequently involved w/a research project, but can’t help giving a couple thoughts to this one. Whenever I hear the name CROWN I can’t not think about the great financier, Henry Crown of Illinois who created MATERIAL SERVICES w/his two brothers in 1919. Eventually his Corporation merged w/GENERAL DYNAMICS. I’m getting ahead of myself from the originators of a successful hardware store that later changed its name to ACE HARDWARE. So, if Jim S could look in his records, there could be references to ACE HARDWARE too. This is circumstantial info now. I cannot find a link to pre Ace Hardware & to the CROWN name. R
