business has
seen changes
Big changes have occured
in the retail hardware
business over the years.
Leisure and entertainment
products are big items now,
such as garden and lawn
equipment, electrical
appliances and barbecues.
Paints are continually
being changed. All are
available lead free now.
Acrylic and latex are' the
most common bases for
paints instead of oils but
changes could come here
again becuus e acryclic bases
are made from oils and the
price of oil is increasing so
rapidly and the availability so
uncertain that new products
may be developed to take
their place.
Non-stick finishes are the
big thing in houseware and
now even stainless steel
comes in decorator colors.
To keep track of inventory
and to order new supplies
Oldield Pro Hardware uses
tape operated devices that
record the necessary
information and play it back
directly into a computer
located in London over
common telephone wires. An
order placed this way on
Monday is ready for pickup
