When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you 

are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, 

a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden 

parachute.  Instead, you’re helping a little girl get 

dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, 

a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, 

or a student pay for college. Our customers are our 

shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. 

Thank you for supporting small businesses.


Thoughts for today:

The man who is always waving the flag usually waives what it stands for. 

              --- Laurence J. Peter, educator and author (1919-1990) 

 

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World 

War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. 

                                         --- Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
