Pricing was done by the square foot in some stores and in square yards in others, and sometimes even a mixture of the two in the same store. Furthermore, pricing the carpet itself by the square foot and the installation cost in square yards was also common. Bill Hooper 1810 mm tall Fernandina Beach, Florida, USA
