That reminds me of a funny ha ha.

We are a small family business. My mom was in the office at that time and I come walking over from the shop to find her doing a credit check on a new customer who has ordered 3K worth of ductwork. She is on hold on the phone with the bank of said company so I pick up the ap and order and gaze at it a bit distracted until I notice the name of the company. Archer Daniels Midland and the order ships to building 131 in Iowa. I'm like Mom your not calling their bank are you as their banker comes back on the phone to inform Mom that their credit is quite alright and their checkbook balance was mid 7 figures on average.

Mom had never heard of ADM.

I bet their banker to this day is laughing his ass off about the women who called to see if a 3K order was a prudent thing to do with ADM:)
