INDEX: July 2012
This Month we present the stories of several outstanding individuals and companies, including our cover story on Bryant and Edna Washburn, fabricator and inventor Barry Brandt of Stone Pro, Mike Johnson of Elite Stone, and Len Malave of Malave Marble & Granite. The exceptional industry projects reviewed this month–including malave marble & Granite’s incredible residential bathroom–represent projects where words and pictures do not do justice to them. Once again our stalwart reporters bring you the latest industry news, advice and commentary. We welcome our reader’s comments, including rebuttals, providing we may publish your commentary. See our Publisher’s Pen and Letters to the Publisher.
