Locals crossexamined, and begged Lin, the owner of the store, but in vain. Running a small, local, familyowned hardware business was no longer profitmaking. The towns affection for Parks Hardware was just not enough to allow it to compete against the giant warehouse stores.I was one member of the excited masses that began to walk through Parks as, 3day by day, the lettering on the front window changed from “20% OFF EVERYTHING” to “30%” , “40%” , and on and on, until the only things left were the light sockets(插座) and doorknobs.Compared with giant warehouses, a hardware store is special.
