DALLAS — Lest anyone doubt the pull of Frager’s Hardware, consider it warrants a mention in the most recently opened presidential library, the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, on the campus of Southern Methodist University.

The fire that consumed the Frager’s storefront on June 5 seems no match for history’s reflection. It’s also nice to see the Frager’s t-shirt representing here in Texas. And a reminder: the Frager’s pop-up on the Eastern Market slab now sells not just garden items, but the orange and blue fashion statement as well.
