[AT] OT- Cornwell Tools

[Dennis Johnson]

Warren,

Cromwell are good tools. Used to see more trucks, but I am probably out of normal routes they have.
One issue facing many sales is competing with Amazon or similar online stores. Not sure if Cromwell has an internet outlet, but this is taking over much the normal sales. Tool trucks have a place, but not sure how they will end up competing with online stuff. When the tool truck has a weekly route, and online can get 2 days of sales, who will win??
