after 55 years toromark furniture ouse to all the loyal and valued customers of toromark i wish to thank you for your patronage over the years i trust that toromark has served you well you have been great customers and it was toromarks pleasure to deal with you unfortunately times change and markham has changed over the past few years with the big box stores growing so quickly and so large it made it very difficult for a small quality serviceoriented furniture store to survive my grandfather curt fleischer a wise merchant could foresee the changes happening in markham and he pleaded with me some six years ago to close the store but at my urging it remained open in hope that there were enough customers who still appreciated friendly reliable service and quality wood furniture unfortunately those customers are a dying breed and although i tried desperately to keep the doors open it became painfully apparent both financially and emotionally that it was time to stop the profuse bleeding i had to do and i did what was best for my family and i am sure that toromark customers will understand i am continuing to do reupholstering of your good quality furniture and as well the sale of some new merchandise will gladly bring samples to your home and attend with you at showrooms if necessary you may reach me at my home office by calling 9056697015 when one door closes another door opens and i hope to have the pleasure of serving you once again in the future i i l 1 i c stephen rain i i
