This is a low-quality scan of the "Toolbox" article on Absolute Tile & Stone that appeared in the April 2009 issue of Forbes Small Business. The article is certainly ©2009 Time Inc. and is only being reproduced here because the FSB online archives fail to include any articles later than the spring of 2007. Since the magazine went dark as of its December 2009 issue, it's unlikely anything else will be posted from FSB; this is Fair Use for illustrating a story, and it wouldn't be here at all if Time Inc. had bothered to update its online archives and it could be accesed by a weblink.

MIA letter to U.S. stone quarriers/producers that supports concerns of National Building Granite Quarriers Association (NBGQA) on inspections from the federal Mine Safety and Health Association (MSHA). The letter sent by the MIA to federal legislators is also enclosed.
