Description:
The hardware store on the Square where Jason Compson works. Most of its customers are farmers from the county, whom Jason calls "rednecks" (211), and stocks merchandise like "cultivators" (189) and "hame strings" (195). It's owned by a man named Earl. In the earlier novel Flags in the Dust the hardware store is owned by someone named Watts, and in later fictions it's owned by Ike McCaslin. Faulkner tries to straighten out these inconsistencies in The Mansion (see page 355), but the passage may leave readers more confused.
