What have we demonstrated? What have we learned? 

 Our advertising is convincing customers that small busi- 

 ness has much to offer that is unavailable at large retail 

 establishments. In working with other stores that sell 

 products that are in direct competition to ours, we seek 

 to share customers rather than lose them to the "big 

 box" retailers. We are embracing our competitors as well 

 as our neighbors. Together, we hold the key to our eco- 

 nomic survival.
