I recently placed an order with one of MRH advertisers: RSLASER.  When they sent me a confirming email they asked where I had heard from them.  Of course, I responded that I saw their ad in MRH and that I always try to use vendors that advertise in MRH first to help support the magazine.

My point here is that whenever possible please try and give credit to MRH advising vendors so that they can evaluate the power of the magazine and hopefully continue to advertise in MRH.  Many vendor on-line sites have a "comments" field that can be used for this; and when not, a seperate email can be sent. 

I know that this is a little more work, but it's very important that vendors are attracted to, and stay with MRH.  I know that the guys at MRH do much of what they do for the love of model railroading, but love alone doesn't pay the bills.  Let's do EVERYTHING we can do to support this wonderful magazine!  BTW, if you've got a blog or web site for your model railroad, please consider putting one of MRH's banners / links on your site.
