When we first moved to Sandpoint, in 1971, there was a business called Sandpoint Ice and Fuel. They evolved over the years to selling hardware items (tools, ammunition, masonry supplies, plumbing, paint, electrical, etc.). Two old timers ran the place, The boss whose name I don't remember, and Joe, the guy who waited on you and helped load whatever you bought. We also had Bargain Building Supply, Bonner Building Supply, and Merwin's Hardware. Said to say, now we have Home Depot, Big R, and Walmart. Evolution, or devolution? I wish I had taken pictures of their trucks. Bargain Supply still had a 3 yard concrete truck.
