South Patrick Hardware & Lumber to Close After 54 years

Family owned in Indian Harbour Beach, Fla. since 1962, South Patrick Hardware & Lumber will close Jan. 4. The store is one of the last in the area to operate without computers, Florida Today reports.

“The old-fashioned hardware store’s front counter features two adding machines, paper receipt books, rubber stampers and four numerical reference charts used to calculate a 6.5 percent sales tax,” Florida Today reports.

“We still hand-write everything. I don’t do nothing by computer,” co-owner Rick Beyer told the paper.
