You can spell success A-D-A-I-C-O-N.
The year 2016 began with the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce naming the Ada Icon the Business of the Year, which is unusual for a company that began less than three years ago.
Why such an honor?
Owners Fred and Mary Steiner developed a product that meets the needs of the community: providing news and photographs of local people and events that affect the lives of residents.

There was nothing...nothing like going to Lima and shopping downtown for Christmas.
Picture this: Somewhere on South Main, Lima, there was Porter's Music Store. You could actually select a 33 1/3 rpm album, enter a listening booth and listen to the album in privacy. That way you'd know if you wanted to buy it or pass.
