Hardware store

In today's world of big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes, you might not know of, or have long forgotten about, the neighborhood hardware store.  Such a store carried all manner of hardware, stacked to the ceiling in trays and bins and on shelves.  It may even have had yellow decaled footprints that (reminiscent of Burma Save) instructed "This" "Way" "to" "GE" "Bulbs".  Even your neat and tidy Ace hardware store is the city cousin to this country mouse.

This particular store, not far away, brags "Over 50,000 Items.  Many Hard to Find."  Does the owner know that, in truth, all of those items in his store are hard to find?
