WE CAN NOT NOT NOT LET MASSE'S LEAVE US. IT'S AN AMAZING STORE WITH GREAT RESOURCES AND IF THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NEW TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BY CHANCE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT, GO THERE FOR ANY ANY ANY HOUSE PROJECT YOU'RE WORKING ON THIS WEEKEND AND GET WHAT YOU NEED. People are great and store is a treasure!

Hi Margot I don't know if this is appropriate for our neighborhood email...but should it be, feel free to pass it on! Thanks, Elizabeth Bartle Begin forwarded message: Subject: Masse Hardware - support Cambridge businesses! Hi Neighborhood friends, Apparently Masse Hardware has had a particularly difficult year. I received the following message from a neighbor, and wanted to pass it along to you. Please feel free to pass it along to anyone you know. "Please remind any friends and acquaintances to shop at Masse's for hardware (instead of Home Depot) - we don't want Masse's to go the way of Bob Slate's." Masse's first opened its doors in 1900. It is still owned and operated by the Masses family. It would be great to keep it going! Thanks, Holly Margot Welch
