Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co. - This leading hardware dealership was the descendant of a Chicago store called Tuttle Hibbard & Co. which took that name in 1855 when William G. Hibbard became a partner. In 1865 Hibbard was joined by Franklin F. Spencer and the enterprise was renamed Hibbard & Spencer. By 1867 the company's annual sales of hardware had reached $1 million. Longtime company employee A. C. Bartlett became a partner in 1882 and the company's name became Hibbard Spencer & Bartlett & Co. When Spencer died in 1890 the company was among the leading wholesalers of hardware in the United States. In 1903 the year Hibbard died the company opened a 10-story warehouse next to State Street Bridge in downtown Chicago. During the Great Depression in 1932 the company introduced a new line of hand tools under the brand name "True Value" and by 1948 Hibbard's annual sales reached nearly $30 million. But business slowed and profits shrank as new hardware cooperatives began to bypass traditional wholesalers so in 1962 the company's owners who wanted to move into the real-estate business sold the hardware operations and the "True Value" brand to John Cotter for $2.5 million.
