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)
