Anyone know what happened to that guy, Rich, the owner? I know he went into business elsewhere. Got to meet James Krenov personally in there back in the '70s, and Rich was always a good conversationalist. Used to talk about how famous people would come in for hobby supplies while staying in town and you'd never recognise them.
His shop/store in Chicago fell victim to gentrification and very expensive loft spaces. Somehow I believe he retreated to Dixon Iliinois, but this is an unconfirmed rumor
A quick Google shows them here:
Frog Tool Company Ltd, (815) 288-3811, 2169 Il Route 26, Dixon, IL 61021

I worked at Frog Tool on Jackson in Chicago when I was in college at UIC (then UICC) around 1981. I put the handles on the tools and labeled the catalogs for 5 cents each.
FALSE. He was run out of town for using derogatory and hateful language. His business is now called "Person of French Descent Tool Co."
Don't feed the trolls.
