content: Price tag is still attached to artifact. Price is written on the back of a "Zenith Marshall-Wells" tag. Marshall-Wells Company started in Duluth, Minnesota in 1886 as Chapin-Wells Co. wholesale hardware and grocery firm. A.M. Marshall bought controlling interest in 1893 and changed its name to Marshall-Wells Co. The company grew to include 14 wholesale offices throughout the northwestern United States (including Montana) and in Canada (including Alberta). They retained their warehouses and executive office on the Duluth Waterfront. In 1955, Ambrook Industries, Inc. of New York bought controlling interest. The Coast-to-Coast Stores (based in Minneapolis, Minnesota) bought the Duluth Division of Marshall-Wells-Kelley-How-Thomson Co. in 1958, which ended the Duluth firm's operation. “Zenith” was the product brand name for the highest quality products of the Marshall-Wells Hardware Company.
