My wife is a sales rep for a dozen companies. Her hottest line? Moderately expensive ladies' apparel sewn in Florida. Around $350 for an outfit (plus accessories), which never goes on the sale rack. The small retailers she sells to always say business could be better, but it ain't bad now. One couldn't wait 2 days for her to show up with new samples, called the company and got whatever they had in stock. Didn't want to lose sales.
I do some housing consulting in addition to my local pursuits. A general contractor I recommended in N. Ohio can't take on a new house until next spring. In S. Carolina another client recently received 48,000 lbs of steel for a new house, he'll be the GC (with a little help). No financial hesitation on his part, the business he has is good.
Even a buddy here, new to independent trucking is finding profitable loads not difficult to come by. He just ordered a custom $2k fuel tank for his truck, that we'll build a custom sleeper over. Unfortunately for him, the tank builder's backed up with previous orders. Freight's moving. Only this afternoon he was talking about expanding his small fleet. I sent him a new haul today.
Seems to me there's a lot of "eye of the beholder" going on around the country. The picture of Michigan that was posted here recently is far removed from what I heard when I was there early this summer. Clearly some places are doing better than others, but perspective is helpful.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
