Hey Joe, Meier's Hdw. ain't just a "hardware store."

Its a HARDWARE STORE.  When Fat Jack ran the place he sat on a stool in the
middle of the store (all 400 pounds of him), surrounded by a pile of cig butts.
 You walked up to Fat Jack and told him what you needed.  On rare occasions he
asked you a clarification question.  He then gave you directions to some nook
or cranny in the store where you would find EXACTLY what you needed.  And I
don't give a rat's ass WHAT you needed.  Meier's had it.  Even including old
dried rat's asses.  (The trap would be thrown in at no extra cost.)

Another equally good old store is Jackson's Hardware on Universal Road in Penn
Hills.  Just ask Jim & Dolly about THAT place!!

See ya,  Arnie
