Hardline or Hard-line position at company
When describing a position at a retail company as "hard- and soft-line retail", is this the correct hyphenation? Or is hardline and softline each a separate compound word? Also, if you wanted it to be capitalized in a title would the correct capitalization be "Hard- and Soft-Line"
Thanks.
Thanks.
