In The Media Congratulations to Vic & Jeanne Babel of Babel’s Paint & Decorating who were profiled in the dealer feature of the January issue of PDR magazine. In the article Vic and Jeanne discuss their efforts to redefine what it means to be an independent retailer...or rather an interdependent retailer. It's a very good article on a company that's doing it right and you can read it in its entirety on the ALLPRO Facebook page at www.facebook.com/allprocorp
