I don't claim to have completed in-depth research on the company(s) that we worked with and all the ins and outs of their business dealings throughout the last 5 years but I know that they did a great thing and it was an amazing event! I expected them to get a great deal of recognition, and they did, but not all in the form that I think they deserved. I understand that at times people (and companies) have hidden motives. I understand that sometimes people have more "extreme" views and want to see companies do more (understandable) but why criticize p

They have been sorted at our facility and compacted (into bales) that are easier for storage and transport but what where they? Please, all guesses welcomed!        I used to be a :  ????                              this one isn't meant to stump you (there is some bleed from the item above - the brown ones) and a new product to the right.
