It's on the tag.

"A guy walks into FUTURES. By the way he's moving, I can tell he's on 'a mission' - trying to find a particular solution to his problem. People move differently when they're on missions. He looks over all the storage pieces. I leave him alone. Eventually he says 'I like your tags and signs. They tell us what we need to know, YOU'RE not bugged unnecessarily, and they're entertaining.'

I say, 'Thanks. They save time, I can't remember all the info, and they keep me from blabbing at people too much.'

He says 'It's a good idea!'...........he pauses and adds, 'So how much is that desk I was just looking at?'

I say, 'It's on the tag.'

FUTURES, established in 1990, specializes in the last 100 years of investment level high style furnishings, fine mid range collectibles, and profoundly low class kitsch.
