In a message dated 97-09-30 19:41:09 EDT, you write:

 whatever current company is screwing their dealer base the very same
 dealers who built the company  than I say DO It.  >>
 
DO IT and DO IT QUICK!  The only thing your doing by selling that line, is
being a showroom for Home Depot and they are laughing at you! So yank them
out and find another line.  Do some research of your competitors, go in their
showrooms, they won't bite (some may toss you out), they are probably in the
same boat, see what lines they carry.  Then find a line they don't sell, or
don't sell well and sell the hell out of it! With all the different
manufacturers out there, your bound to find one not being sold in your area.
I wouldn't want my showroom used to show my customers their (Home Depot's)
product.  
 
And by the way, after 17 years of this industry, I believe Martha is right.
If all of the dealers that put Majestic where they today, up and left, then
they would be  depending only the Home Depot accounts.
