Thumbs up Forte's 28th Anniversary

Forte's 28th Anniversary....

Hi,
Well it's been 28 years of business on Dec 27th. It's been a long ride....

The Metro-West News came to my store for a little blurb about my 28th year in business. My bookeeper Kathy thought it was a good idea for some press.....

Mike,

Congratulations! To be in business that length of time is a testament to good products and customer service. I clicked on the link and got a message that the page no longer exists. Looks like the link is broken.

Congratulations Mike. I think the main reason you've survived in a tough business for so long is because you offer good advice, great products and stand behind your business.

-Tim
