Historical Sketch

The Richards and Conover Hardware Company was started by John F. Richards in

1857. When it closed in 1999, it was one of the longest continually running family

owned businesses in Kansas City.

http://www.kchistory.org/




John Francisco Richards got his start in the hardware business while working for

Child, Pratt and Company in St. Louis in 1854. He then moved to Leavenworth,

Kansas Territory in 1857 to go into business for himself. He opened the J.F.

Richards’ Hardware Store and Agricultural Warehouse (also briefly known as

Richards and Chamberlin). By 1866 the business was prospering as John F. Richards

and Company, and John Conover was hired as a traveling salesman. Richards took

note of the growth in Kansas City – the Hannibal Bridge being built and the livestock

industry settling in – and realized the area would have a significant edge over others

as a railroad hub. So in 1875, knowing that fortune would follow the railroad, he

opened up a company branch at 3rd and Delaware in Kansas City. Between 1881 and

1884, Richards moved to a new location at 5th and Wyandotte, reorganized as

Richards and Conover Hardware Company with John Conover as a partner, and

closed the Leavenworth branch. In 1906 they opened a branch store in Oklahoma

City. The company continued to prosper as they took advantage of numerous

opportunities to buy out competitors and expand their own reach.

By the 1950s, the demand for hardware wholesalers was beginning to decline, so

Richards and Conover decided to focus more resources on steel distribution. In 1954

they opened a new plant for their steel operation at 6333 St. John Avenue, and then in

1958 they liquidated the hardware business.

The company began experiencing difficulties in the late 1990s, due to a faulty new

software system and changes in the steel market. In December 1999, the company

closed and sold off all its assets. During the company’s 145 years, it always remained

a family-owned business with five generations of the Richards family being involved.

At the time the company closed, it was being run by Martha Richards Sawyer, a

great-great-granddaughter of the company’s founder.

stock holdings, Board of Directors meeting minutes, correspondence, administrative

records, ledger books, catalogs, publications, advertisements, news articles, data

processing cards, and photographs. The collection seems to document a large portion

of the company’s business proceedings, but it is not complete. A portion of the

company’s records can be found at the Jackson County Historical Society.

reports related to the facilities and property owned and leased by the Richards and

business of the company, and are arranged chronologically by date.

The three primary types of records used for the company’s daily transactions were

Daybooks, Journals, and Ledgers. Daybooks were commonly used as the book of

original entry, where transactions were noted as they occurred chronologically.

Entries usually include the name of the customer and items being purchased.

Transactions in the Daybooks were then transferred to Journals, or when Daybooks

were not utilized the Journal became the first step in the accounting cycle. Like the

Daybooks, entries in the Journals were entered chronologically. Ledgers typically

show a summary of transactions for individual accounts.
