Realtor: Edwin Williams - Edwin Williams Properties, Ltd.

The best. Don't know what else to say. We might be out on the street right now if it wasn't for Edwin Williams. I don't remember how we met him but it was the best move we made. I can't say enough about him. You need a commercial realtor? Don't bother with anyone else. Edwin truly went out of his way to get us where we are now.

Contractor: Barney Toler - Austin Quality Construction

We bought our current building in August of 1999. We needed to move out of our old building by the end of November. Austin was booming and contractors were busy. We talked to a few and they either said "We'll try to get to you by next year" or they weren't interested. I called Barney Toler, as I remembered from a neighborhood meeting that he did commercial remodeling. He came and looked at what we had and said, "No Problem". He was right. We moved in the last week in November. The job was done right and at a fair price. Call him or his partner, Jerry Tredemeyer if you need a good, reliable and honest contractor.

Electrical: Parker Electric

Barney and Jerry use them for all their electrical jobs. I can see why. We now use them for all our electrical jobs also. Big jobs or little jobs. No problem. They always take care of us.

Financing: Jennifer "Jenny" Shield - Commerce Loan Company

Jenny was recommended by Edwin Williams and Barney Toler. She took real good care of us and made it easy to get our new building. I think she was like the rest of the good people that helped us out in that she did more than she had to in order to get us going.

There are many others that helped us out. William Agnew of Agnew Painting did all our paint work. Great job and great price. Jim Kent of Detection, Inc. did our alarm system. He's been doing this for us for a long time now and does a great job. Always there when you need him. Dan Hall of Hall Security Systems did our fire protection system.

A special thanks to Ed Kelso who did our phone system and computer network. Ed is no longer with us in this world and we sorely miss him. He took care of our old, decrepit system in the old store and brought us into the modern age in our new store. He was also a friend. We miss him all the time. I still keep his card in my file and have no plans to ever remove it.

And last but not least. Our customers. I can't imagine a business having better customers than we have. They put up with us in the old store and especially during the move.
