Y'all, I don't think that's entirely true. RPM has taken a hatchet to that
great little brand but most Hobby Lobby stores still sell a greatly reduced
inventory.
At one time TESTORS was once among the most recognizable logos / brands in

Liz, I live in Marin and 2nd China Camp and also Paradise loop.
