What can be done? Many of us here spend hours talking about how to beat the high cost of a proper tank, so I suspect it's not only the Royal Mile Gold Brothers but each of us who purchase less expensive items which we know are produced in low-cost labor countries.

I'm not touting any change of attitude or practices--not being political in any way--just suggesting that, as mentioned earlier, in a global market, our practices are truly global in their effect. Many of us--and I am gulity as well--lament the passing of mom and pop businesses and then shop at Walmart.

I am truly sorry to see such an old business passing away. And it is NOT good news. What can be done is for a bunch of folks to order handmade kilts from them. If it's not too late.
