Have you ever noticed that the world seems to be going faster and faster? We sure have! We’ve been trying to put together a 2008 catalog for over a year now,
and our vendor pricing is changing every few months, rather than every other year. It used to be that we could count on prices being stable for at least a year, and this is
no longer the case. Basically, by the time we get a catalog printed, half the prices are incorrect.
Therefore, we have decided to discontinue our catalogs and rely on our easily updateable website for accurate pricing. If there are issues with web access, we will be happy to
print pages from our website and mail, fax, or e-mail them to you. We will be having a “New Products” 16 page brochure coming out around January 1st, 2008.
We’ve been a catalog based company for many years and we did not make this decision lightly. It comes to this; as our vendors change their prices, we also must adjust
our prices. As of late, these price changes can be substantial as the prices of raw materials (i.e. Brass, Chromium, Stainless steel, etcetera.) have become volatile in this
emerging world economy. As we would like to remain in business, and selling our merchandise below our landed cost can affect this mission statement, we can no longer commit
to published pricing other than an electronic format.
