March 2010 issue

The March 2010 Discover Mid-America will be out Feb. 22 and distributed that week. Issue up on web by month's end. Look for ads for a new show in Greenwood, MO and a new shop opening in Peculiar, MO. Cover feature is on Art Nouveau.

Back to monthly

To clear up any confusion — We're back to publishing monthly beginning with the March 2010 issue and for the year. The combined Jan/Feb 2010 issue was a reaction to the difficult economic times. Hopefully, we will not consider that approach for Jan/Feb 2011.

Good question

Spent the last month getting ready for a better year (hopefully). So far, things look better than this time in 2009. But still, getting through these economic times remains not an easy jaunt.

Along those lines, I have to ask: If an antique dealer doesn't pay his or her advertising bills, how reliable is that dealer when it comes to selling what he or she may claim is a quality antique?
