Customers seem optimistic...

A great day of action for Clean '11 on day 3. Our team was busy from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. When we picked our heads up to look around, most of the surrounding booths were packed as well. Our overall impression has been that the show has been a great success. Customers seem optimistic and interested in buying products.

Who won our R&B Wire Products oldest cart contest? First place went to Highlander Center Laundry, Jacksonville, Ill. The Coeur d'Alene (Idaho) Golf & Spa Resort was second, and Rockford (Ill.) Washer was third. Congratulations to all the winners!
