Sound kind of like Oliver Rickard Hardware in Centralia, WA. Old wood floor with some cork boot marks, hardwood parts bins on the wall in back of the counter, with a rolling ladder to access them. Went in when I was about 18 to get some bolts- a knockout girl was behind the counter, about 16 or so- I figured it would be tough to get her to understand what I wanted. When I told her, she smiled sweetly and said, "Cap screws or machine bolts?" I said cap screws, having no idea what the difference was, and then commented that she seemed to know her stuff. She replied that she was Bill Rickard's daughter, and had been "helping" since she was bout 8.
They had a huge round woodstove in the middle of the store, over 6 feet tall, with spittin' and whittlin' chairs around it. Wondered what would happen to it when they closed in the '70's- it ended up down the street, at the Olympic Club, a pool hall and bar that was the local speak-easy during prohibition. Guess there was a tunnel from the basement to the train station across the street, for ease of re-stocking. Looks very appropriate in that place.
