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:

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

                                           --- Aldous Huxley (1895-1963)

As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they arm themselves against wonder. 

                                           --- Leonard Cohen (1934-2016)
