Travis industries is doing a vital service to our industry, independent
hearth shops, and the general health and welfare of the consuming public.
On the other hand, on my way to pick up supplies at a local HVAC distributor,
I picked up a HVAC trade journal with some scary news. One of our "own",
Lennox Indursties recently complete a purchase ot 250 HVAC dealers so they
cannot only provide us with wholesale and retail competition, they can now
even try to take away our installation and service income.
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you...
However, on yet another, "on the other hand", perhaps the playing field could
finally  be more level than ever competing with the   manufacturers that
"sell to all".
Just think. They'll have to compete one on one with us on personal service,
customer loyalty, product knowledge, our daily survival instincts, and our
tipical too low prices.
Maybe things are starting to look up again!

     Ok.. i'm probably the last retailer to discover,  MAGIC SLIDERS, the
little teflon coated dics ($6.00) for moving furniture sold  at the big
baddies.. but in case any one else has been in this business for 25  years
and hasn't yet discovered how to shove Firelights and Defiants around the
show room floor one handed... well almost.. give it a try.. I also use them
under our risers and can still re arrange the showroom with minimal help..
