  • ”A square deal and full linear foot ahead of the competition in customer service! Markel’s owner never flinched at his employee’s “geaux-to” attitude by taking an order that required a little leg work to fulfill. They have products in a covered and well-kept warehouse, they provide awesome customer service, and are willing to earn the business. So please support this vestige of American business.”
