<DIV>Hi Neighbors,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I want to differ. Most businesses that I talk with are down 30 to 60%.
Expenses are up drastically, and sales are down considerably. The economy
SUCKS! Many small businesses are considering themselves lucky if they are
breaking even; but most are losing money, dipping into personal savings, maxing
out credit cards, insurance policies, etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yesterday I spoke with my accountant, lawyer and banker. Everyone stated
that many of their business clients are experiencing hardship.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With my company Graphic Imaging, business this year has been tough. We are
hoping that September will bring opportunities, but there are no
guarantees.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One thing that you can do to help, is to BUY LOCAL. Independent businesses
are experiencing tough times. For example, many people are making <STRONG>off
shore</STRONG> companies Multi-Multi-Millionaires by using the Internet. For
example: Vista Print had sales of $408,000,000 as of July 08'. Most people are
not aware of how companies like this are affecting the local economy here in the
USA. Most of the orders that they receive are under $100.00, but larger orders
are leaving the country as well. Do your self a favor and check out the BBB
(Better Business Bureau) to see how ethical (or un-ethical) a company is that
you are making a purchase from.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For more information about BUY LOCAL, please go to <A
href="http://www.buylocalbaltimore.com">www.buylocalbaltimore.com</A>. There is
a preferred list of local companies on this local site for you to work with,
that would appreciate your support.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank You:</DIV>
