Needless to say we here at Salon Interiors are very encouraged by the news since we are big supporters of our fellow American owned companies. Supporting manufacturers that keep our own citizens working productively is important to the success of our country and its people as a whole.
Here's hoping we all continue this trend for everyone's benefit.
Buy American!!
