There actually are several show supply companies scattered across the country. Sullivans is certainly the best known and biggest, and carry a very complete and high quality line of products. If you'll take the time to look at what the other suppliers have to offer however, you might be pleasantly surprised that you do indeed have a choice. I'm not taking anything away from Sullivans, I use some of their products, but I use some others, too. No offense Zach, but they don't have a complete monopoly yet, and if we (the consumers) are smart, we'd prob'ly ought to try and keep it that way...
