From our Readers
I enjoy your magazine. I read each issue from cover to
cover, and always find information of interest regarding
local services and events.
I saw the ad asking about a business or service found
through use of the magazine, and wanted to share
that I found Wadsworth Glass through the Marketplace
magazine. I was looking for a glass table top to be
custom made, to cover an antique mahogany dining
table. I got multiple estimates and selected Wadsworth
Glass. They not only offered the service (custom glass
cutting, polishing and delivery) at a reasonable price,
but also provided outstanding personalized service. I
highly recommend them.
