Orme Hardware, one of Cambridge and Guernsey County’s oldest businesses, has been in operation since May 1869. The first establishment was located at the corner of East Eighth Street and Wheeling Avenue in downtown Cambridge, Ohio. First newspaper advertisements of the store designate its location as “on the East side of the public square.” The ad stated it dealt in “shelve and heavy hardware.
Today Orme Hardware strives to meet the needs of city and the rural customers, just as the original Orme Hardware met the needs of the early settlers in 1869. Extended hours are for the convenience of the customer. Knowledgeable clerks are always on hand to help with a purchase, and two checkouts are available to speed transactions. A friendly atmosphere and a desire to serve the customer by providing information and service are two of the most important goals of Orme Hardware that have been carried on through the 110 years Orme Hardware has been serving Cambridge and surrounding area. And remember, “You Can Find It At Orme!”
