I think the deal is you need to have a Brad & Dunstreet rating, and apply
for a net 30 account with them......

Probly also helps if you happen to spend several grand / year with them.

I think it may be a frequency thing. I order an average of once per month.
Most orders are under $50. So I'm small potatoes. But, I get a new catalog
every year.

While we're on the subject I'll put in a plug for their service. If I order
by 5:30 PM, its here by 9:30 AM the next morning. Almost never a backorder
or stockout. For me, its easier than going to the hardware store.
