George H Pevin Sr. managed Hope Hardware on Hope St. in Bristol. I don't know the address but it was next door to the Harriet Bradford Inn.
Hope Hardware was owned by Tony Pinheiro (alive in Bristol), Tony's wife Florence (alive) was related to George Pevin Sr. She may have been his sister. Many of my childhood memories are from time spent "helping" at Hope Hardware.

More to come...
