Thank you Bill, I agree with your mentality regarding this subject absolutely! I would prefer as I do with most products I purchase to deal with smaller (Even local, if I can) manufacturers of products who have a passion for their art whatever that may be.
I was in the "Only thing that matters is the profit" business world for too long and that is why I retired young matter-of-factly. I was in sales so I was the tip of the spear, but I never sold a poor quality product to anyone and even ripped pages out of my own Company's catalogue if it was a poor product. That lead me to leave many company's as the catalog dwindled or worse, the entire manufacturing was shifted to China.
