Today the M. W. Martware is one of the outbusiness establishments than a quarter of a centering a business in one record of which not many boast. Very few stores have been owned and by the same man, or men, as long. Martenet first entered the hardware business 52 years ago. For two years immediately prior to his coming to Anaheim he had owned a hardware store in Orange. Before that he was in the business for many years in Pasadena. When Martenet purchased the business from General Royer it was located on South Los Angeles street adjoining what was then known as the First National bank building. After some three years in that location he moved the store into the new building erected on West Center street by F. A. Yungbluth. For 11 years the Martenet hardware served its patrons in the Yungbluth building before the store was moved to its present location at 323 W. Center street. Affiliated with Martenet in the operation of the business now is his son, M. W. Martenet, Jr. The younger Martenet, like his father, takes an important part in civic affairs. He is now serving as one of the city's councilmen, a position he has filled for several years. A vision seen 27 years ago has become a reality. The underlying factor sin the rise of Martenet's hardware to the place of prominence it now enjoys are service, courtesy, quality and quantity of merchandise and a progressive policy by the owner.
