Why Join?<br />
“On the last minute of the<br />
last day of the 2007 <strong>Rubber</strong><br />
<strong>Expo</strong>, we had a visitor that<br />
ended up giving us the single<br />
largest order in the 30+ years<br />
that Mid-States Tool has been<br />
in business. Actually our<br />
first order was more than<br />
twice the amount of any<br />
previous single order and<br />
we're expecting more.”<br />
