To the Reader: These articles were originally published in the following trade magazines and newsletters between January 1993 and April 2002. While some of the events referenced in those years are long ago memories, the retail relevant information and the suggestions directed at independents would be little changed if I was to take the time to bring them all up to date. But that’s not going to happen.
