That's pretty funny.

"McMaster-Carr Supply likes to spread things around -- especially things like tools and industrial supplies. The company distributes more than 400,000 products (98% of which it keeps in stock) such as air conditioners, clamps, drills, exhaust fans, generators, pipes, pumps, valves, saws, switches, and thermal insulation. McMaster-Carr has no sales force; it does its business through online and catalog sales. Customers can order the company's products via e-mail, fax, the Internet, or the telephone in English, French, or Spanish. The company has operations in California, Illinois, Georgia, New Jersey, and Ohio"

I guess catalog sales are irrelevant as of now. How can you do major business through catalogs when you print a limited number of them. Sounds like a company I don't want to deal with.

I suggest
