[R-390] The Home Depot Issue

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Around here they dropped the discount several years back. That may simply be a decision they made in a town with an Army base in it and a couple more instalations near by. With a population at the 60 to 80% level  who could claim the discount, it may have been putting them out of business.
