Gerber/Hart is Alive and Well!
Gerber/Hart is alive and well, and will be moving in a few months! Some of you have noticed the "For Rent" sign in our front window, and have erroneously concluded that Gerber/Hart is "going out of business." Nothing could be further from the truth!

Thank you for your support for over three decades!
