Pointers for our Patrons.

The difference between poor
stock and first class stock on a job
is a small item when you consider
the value of the job. 1t is the
price of satisfied customer. 1t is
better to make so cents less on a
job and have customer who will
come back, than to use the flimsy
stock, make the extra so cents and
lose your customer. That is the
way we figure it.
