The latest issue is online

Jay Short appears on the cover of the September issue of Hardware & Building Supply Dealer, featuring our coverage of the 2024 Independent ProDealer of the Year.

“It may be my name on the building," he said, "but we’ve got a team of folks out in the trenches, in the lumber yard, the guys unloading the trucks, the guys making the deliveries, the sales people on the road, the guys at the counter. And they’re the ones that make things happen.” 

Our cover feature tells the story of innovation, growth and customer service and Short & Paulk Supply.
