From axle grease, horseshoes, and firearms in
the 1800’s to state-of-the-art marketing, retail
programs, and over 60,000 items in the 21st
Century, Blish-Mize has consistently delivered
reliability and profitability to its customers.
Today, Blish-Mize is one of the oldest, and most
successful distributors of its type, in the nation.
We were founded in 1871 by three brothers-in-law,
David Blish, Edward Mize, and Jack Silliman, who
moved to Atchison, Kansas, from Chicago, to outfit
wagon trains headed west from the Missouri River.
In just a few short years, the company was
distributing all types of goods to over 800 hardware
stores, lumberyards, and general stores throughout
a number of midwestern states. With over 1,200
valued customers today, we continue to supply
hardware stores, lumberyards, home centers, and
paint store retailers throughout the Midwest, the
Rockies and the Southwest.
