ADADIt’s possible I stood in the Hechinger aisle 20-plus years ago and pondered just purchasing a handful of loose nails before realizing that 79 cents for a pound of finish nails — the price tag is still on the box — wasn’t going to bankrupt me. Jefferson Ogata of Wheaton, Md., sent me a photo of his box of Hechinger nails. C. Ready of Greenbelt, Md., has something that might have come in a Woodies gift box: a bar of Woodies soap. One December, a family there gave her a box of Woodies soap, the bars embossed with the store’s logo. I don’t think nails go bad, at least not in one human lifetime.
