Amy Lowell - The Crescent Moon

Slipping softly through the sky
Little horned, happy moon,
Can you hear me up so high?
Will you come down soon?
On my nursery window-sill
Will you stay your steady flight?
And then float away with me
Through the summer night?
Brushing over tops of trees,
Playing hide and seek with stars,
Peeping up through shiny clouds
At Jupiter or Mars.
I shall fill my lap with roses
Gathered in the milky way,
All to carry home to mother.
Oh! what will she say!
Little rocking, sailing moon,
Do you hear me shout -- Ahoy!
Just a little nearer, moon,
To please a little boy.

Your survey seems to be right on the mark. We have asked some of our ctuosmers the same questions and thetop of our survey was Quality and then delivery and then price. However, the price really is the motivating factor.The other thing that was pointed out to us, was the need for a Global Supplier, but to have someone on a locallevel to call on the account and have that face to face contact. Anixter is very fortunate to have a global footprintand the local presence too.
