When I was a kid, Belknap Hardware was still in business in Louisville.
When I read about it today it's called a wholesale outfit, but I never
had any problem buying from them as a retail customer - must be they were

Anyway, they had employees who knew where everything was in the whole 40
acres. At least it seemed that way. Some of the rooms were floor to
ceiling drawers and the employees in that area knew the exact drawer.

It's worth looking at their history:
