    Thanks for sharing they're still in business.


    It looks like the company changed hands in 2019. The current owner is said to have been a long time customer of the original owner, then worked for him a little, eventually taking ownership after the original owner passed away.

    The first page that pops up after a search looks like it's defunct. It list the business in Illinois, the original location, and of course, a different phone number. Now it looks like it's in Mississippi. The new website doesn't come up at the top of a search, a more precise search is needed.

    Internet search engines have become just about useless. Whatever al gore rhythms or eh eye they're using is garbage. Lots of politics, corporate prominence, and pop culture is inserted now. A person really has to polish up on their search operations to find what (they | want).

    Somehow I missed the phone number is the same on the old and new website.

    I was just looking over the old one, seeing if maybe it had any issues, like possibly for phishing. Sometimes those old page formats are stolen/recreated for that purpose. There's been some that use old ebay listings and have a contact form to gather personal info.

    I guess the old one is still legit, but if someone is more savvy they could look into the contact form, to see if that's still functional, as in linked to a legitimate, US, current email. Just saying, in case that's where most people land and they're having an issue contacting anyone. Of everything I've seen so far, I've yet to see the current website linked or listed and don't understand why.

    That's all I have to add. I'm trying to make a memory of it in case I want to contact them, because I forget about a lot of the older, smaller, businesses I haven't used, contacted, or looked at in a while.
