"I'm very happy with my relationship with Miller-Bradford," said King. "They've always treated me well. I've dealt with several salespeople over the years, and as they retire and we have a new representative, the new one is as good as the old one. The salespeople and the service people are there when we need them, and that is why we continue to keep the relationship we have with Miller-Bradford."
