[AJD] RE:LOU! and how did JD survive?

[Louis]

Bruce,

I get 3 day stock order without freight.  That is if the part is in stock in
the serving warehouse in Canada.  The Canadian warehouse that serves us now
doesn't usually have what I need in stock.  So, the next draw is on Indy,
then I have to pay freight.  The Columbus warehouse had a 90 some % fill
rate.  I don't know why they closed Columbus.  It was nice to have the part
usually the next day.  There were times when I was farming, that we went to
Columbus to pick up the part. Columbus is only 2 hours from me.

Oh well, I guess they know what they are doing. HA-HA.

Lou

Lou: I get 2 day stock order parts without any shipping costs from my dealer

in west central Illinois.
