When he had a pipe that was hard to repair, he would call it a DOG! Most of my pipes came from Keyer's. One thing, Gene is mistaken about Jud's retirement. It was 1995.

He returned to work after the war, and managed the distribution network and the retail store at 1225 Main street.(I recall visiting the store as a child). In the 1950's Charles Keyer retired and having no children, transferred ownership of the store to Judson. Judson continued to run the business until his retirement around 1965, when he sold the business.<br />A unique wood and metal sign in the shape of a large pipe hung over the store front, and is now in the possession of the Cincinnati Art museum. I Remember the mosaic tile entrance and have photographs of the storefront, interior and sign.
