John Swinney and his sister, Joan Atkins, are third-generation owners. The hardware store has been in their family since 1934 and was already a Tulsa institution by the time their father acquired the store’s famous animated neon sign — built to resemble a hand saw, with a chrome blade and flashing teeth synchronized to give the illusion that the blade is moving back and forth.
