Question

Dream Desk Company is a major supplier of office desks for home and business. The company has been in existence since 1875. After serving an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker in the east, George Dreamer had a violent disagreement with the shop owner and quickly decided it was best to move west. He opened up his own shop for making custom desks for homesteaders, ranchers, and small businessmen who could not afford expensive imported desks. The company is still run by the Dreamer family and has maintained a niche in the middle-priced home and small business office furniture market. Dreamer furniture has a good reputation for value. This reputation has been built on sturdy construction including tongue-and-groove comers, good customer service, and strong regional marketing.
