Best Built began in 1928 when Oren Crockett bought an interest in the JM Bryant store in Orofino, ID. John Bryant was father to the late Vera Werner and Maxine Musiel of Orofino. After the death to typhoid fever of their son William, Oren and his wife, Nell moved to Riverside, CA. In 1930 they returned to Orofino and Oren and his wife, Nell, bought out John Bryant and started Crockett’s Hardware.
