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.
