IRMAS CLOBBERS FLORIDA ANTIQUE STORES
HALLOWEEN POSTCARDS ...pg 14
Hurricane Irma touched us all ... Some more than others. Questions
Our office was without power for 5 days, and telephones for a week, but we are back and & ANSWERS
able to get out the October issue on time. ...pgs. 18 & 28
We know Irma left a huge mess in her wake, and many of our friends and customers are
still recovering! We have heard from many shops and most are now back open. Pray for the
ones that have not yet been able to open back up to-date!
Our industry, has already experienced a soft summer and now shops have lost up to a
week in sales! Let’s all support each other by shopping at our local stores… and offering them
words of encouragement.
We thank you for your years of support and encouragement for the days
ahead. Let’s all work together to make our industry bigger and stronger!
