But we are doing well because like you we are flexible and in charge of our own direction, growth and destiny for the most part.\u00a0When times get tough successful businesses that survive actually\u00a0become better.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Out with the old ways&#8230;in with new. For example we have totally eliminated our service fee on small orders. You can buy only what you need, when you need it. One customer made this happen, this week. All of us\u00a0can and should\u00a0listen to our customers and make ourselves easier to do business with.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I am very thankful that I can still come to work with my friends, family and associates and be able to make a difference. As we count our blessings this year, we also think of others not as fortunate:<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Ann Taylor- 117 stores nationwide are to be shuttered<br \/>\nLane Bryant, Fashion Bug, and Catherine\u2019s to close 150 stores nationwide<br \/>\nEddie Bauer to close stores 27 stores and more after January<br \/>\nCache will close all stores Talbot&#8217;s closing down all stores<br \/>\nJ.

Also the fact that in this great country (yes&#8230;still great) we can have a difference of opinion and express it in freedom, then sit around the same table and work it out with each other.
