How do you make the distasteful actually tasteful? Try this work-of-art Roach-Proof Window Display by Cole Hardware of San Francisco, which prominently features Roach Prufe as a star item. Taking off a bit of the visceral edge are potted and framed circular saw blades by DeWalt. I can’t guarantee you would stop and admire the artistry, but I do think you would notice the display and Cole in passing. You might even pick up some Roach Prufe or that new saw blade you had a hankerin’ for. If not the retailer’s statement would certainly begin to take root in your mind: “Cole. Hardware for the Soul.” Have a do-it-yourself need while in San Francisco? Swing by one of the Cole Hardware locations. The company business model and history is very interesting.
