for my children to go to college debt-free." -Smith
* "It's our responsibility to make sure that the customer
doesn't make a mistake." -Krinsky
* "You can't put a price tag on employee-employer
loyalty." -Scrima
* "Anticipate your customer's needs. We've been around
long enough that we don't need to make them ask." -Taylor
