[AT] Shopping season, support patriotic business

[Dean Van Peursem]

Herb,

Excellent point worth remembering. Just checked that about Sears and it is still
true. I used to buy most of my tools (Craftsman) at Sears but have recently been
a bit frustrated by how much they have reduced the warranty period on their
tools. Has caused me to consider other brands more now which I didn't do that
much in the past. Given not a big and obvious feature or performance difference
I still lean their way.

Several years ago, it was called to our attention that some stores (Sears was on
the list) were supporting their employees who were on active duty by making up
any reduction in pay that employee was experiencing while on active duty and by
paying their health insurance (?).   That program is still going on twelve
months a year, many years later.
Suggest we consider this factor when deciding where to buy any item.
Herb
