dreams

Seven years ago, Margey Mik-
losi decided to open a small
Country Western Store in Fern-
brook. With the ever-increasing
popularity of Country Western
music and Western wear,
Margey believed such a business
would become popular among
the local residents.
In December, 1976, she opened
the “Hoof 'N Paw’ on the Main
Road, Fernbrook, across from
intent was to stock supplies for
horses including riding items and
other equestrian needs. Starting
small, Margey used only part of
the building, leasing the other
space to various businesses.
Michael S. Kerkowski, of Dallas,
has been named Vice President of
the Luzerne National Bank.
Kerkowski, a graduate of Swoy-
ersville High School and Wilkes-
Barre Business College, has com-
pleted many courses through the
American Institute of Banking
(AIB). He also attended the Data
Processing School of the New
Jersey Bankers Association.
He is a member of Gate of
Heaven Church, Dallas; the Wyo- 3
ming Valley Chapter AIB and the
Dallas Kiwanis Club, where he is
currently serving as First Vice
President. He is also Finance Chair-
man for the Luzerne County Fall
Fair.
A resident of Dallas, Kerkowski is
married to the former Gerry Orlan--

Margey gradually built a large
inventory of Western gear includ-
ing leather jackets, belts, boots,
Western hats, wallets, buckles,
riding crops, saddles and a vari-
ety of items. She worked and
continues to work as much as 80
English position. :
Anyone interested in this position
should contact Mr. Gerald Wycallis,
Curriculum Office, as soon as possi-
ble.
When one steps into the other
side of the store, it is into the
Country Western World. Western
has brought her far in the past
seven years - from one small Part-time
hours weekly putting the Hoof 'N
Paw Country Western Store into
high gear.
The business now occupies the
entire building and one side is
taken up completely by a line of
pet foods, supplies and pet nov-
elty items. In the early years
Margey stocked only horse feed
and supplies but a constant
demand for all type pet supplies
and food gradually brought about
a large inventory of feed for
small as well as large animals;
wild bird seed, sunflower seeds,
beds and shampoos. Various
breeds of rabbits and rabbit sup-
plies are also available at the
Hoof 'N Paw.
Margey is the sole owner of the
business and is assisted only by a
friend, Betty.
It is not unusual to see the two
young women loading or unload-
ing 40, 50 to 100-lb. bags of pet
food, large sacks of bedding,
cedar shavings or grain. Nothing
is too small nor too large for
them to load into a customer’s
car, van or truck.
hats in felt, straw or leather,
boots, Western shirts, moccasins,
belts, buckles and gloves.
Designer jeans, Lee and Wran-
duroys, scarves, tops, country
style shirts-they’re all there plus
dozens of other items.
Jogging suits and bathing
suits, country and Western style
sweaters can also be found at the
Hoof 'N Paw. There are also gift
Margey’s hard work and firm
belief in Country and Western
side of a large two-story building
to complete occupancy with a
business that keeps her busy
from early morning until she
closes her doors in the late eve-
ning to return to her home and
husband. There her busy sched-
ule continues as she takes care of
her home and enjoys such leisure
activities as bowling.
She attributes her success in
the: Hoof 'N Paw Country and
Western Store to hard work, ded-
ication and her slogan “If you
don’t see it, ask for it, we’ll get
it.”
