|  "When it comes to retailing, there are basic display techniques that apply whether you are selling records, rowboats, bats and balls, or gift items and collectibles. When you're in a bind about what to do next, consult the basics, and they'll provide a road map for changes." - Sharon Leicham, Country Business Magazine
