Braley and Noxons hardware in North Creek NY used to be like that. If you wanted rope they walked over to the wall and start pulling out as much as you wanted and measured it across the floor. The rope came up from 600 foot spools 3 stories down IIRC. Used to buy steel there, down stairs, and they they'd cut you want you needed. They made stove pipe, fixed bicycles, sold paints, guns, ammo, fishing tackle, small appliances and dishes and of course general hardware. Old Ernest Noxon was the Town Clerk for well over 50 years as I recall. Nothing like going down to the hardware store to get your marriage license! Big old creeky floor with a hot air duct about 4 foot square right in front of the counter. I winder how many half froze kids warmed up on that grate? They had a Case knife display right up by the front door. I don't think I ever actually had enough money to buy a knife out of that display case, but I bet I spent at least 6 months of actual time standing there drooling on the glass.

Store is still in business but different owners. They redid the old store and it's just not anything like the old store. Uncle Walt Schultz used to have the variety store next door and Mitch Aboods barber shop was just across the street. The post office was around the corner and so was Sawyers press were out local paper was published. The old theatre with the horse hair stuffed seats was just down the street next to Baroudis market and the old fire house. It's all gone now pretty much. I'd give a lot to see Uncle Walt, Ernie Noxon, Esther Baroudi or to sit in the Northwoods theatre again with my little sister whos also gone.

Nostalgia.......

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
