RE: IML: Imperial carpet(ing?)

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm surprised you haven't gotten any helpful response.  I'm pretty sure our 
own Dick B. used to be a distributor for one of these outfits.   Maybe he 
and his beautiful bride are on one of their vacations.  I'm also pretty sure 
that most of these companies buy the pieces from the same source and then 
distribute them.  Hold on for Dick B. I'm sure he'll be helpful as always.
