"The LaurenceMcFadden paint company, in business since 1885 and supplier of
the finest lacquer, polyurethane, and polyester finishes to much of the
fretted instrument business has shut down as of this week. The company is in
bankruptcy and are negotiating to sell their formulas to other entities.
This is going to hit our industry like a bomb...they supply Fender, Guild,
Ovation, Martin, Taylor, and countless smaller makers."

"The Lawrence-McFadden Co. manufactures wood products. The company was

District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia."

Damn shame, but this has been going on for some time now ... you haven't
been able to buy their Mission Oak stain from Rockler's for a good
