Dan Hornbacher, better known as Trader Dan
opened his first sporting goods store in a small location at 525 East Central
Avenue in August of 1945. Changing the name to Fast-O-Trade, in 1949 moved to
16 North Main Street.. In 1961 Trader Dan built a new building on Highway 83
South. The new location provide a lot of outside room for boats, trailers and
motorcycles. They akso carried a full line of sporting goods inside. Trader Dan
stocked western clothing for hunters, archery equipment and all types of
fishing tackle, along with firearms and ammunition. I have been informed that
at one time Trader Dan would appear on late night TV selling his wares over the
airwaves. I have been informed that for a while Dan Hornbacher went into the
construction business with his son. Apparently they built a house which
exploded due to a gas leak when lighting the furnace. Dan’s son was killed in
the explosion. Dan and his wife lived in a house, behind his business, located
at County Road 14 and Highway 83 South.
