KRAMER'S BEST ANTIQUE IMPROVER
Find a dealer in your area...
The SEARCH directory below lists our “Master Dealers”. These are established dealers who have made a commitment to maintain a dependable supply of all Kramer’s Best products. If one of the larger sizes is unavailable, they will offer multiples of a smaller size — such as 4 quarts at the gallon price.
There are many other dealers who carry only the Antique Improver, or maybe only the smaller sizes. We wish we could list them all, but keeping track of stock in each of them is not practical or possible. To find one of these dealers in your area, contact us and we will be glad to check our complete Database.
As a new attempt to help our customers find the products, we have added THE LATEST DEALER NEWS “blog” at the bottom of this page. On it we will regularly post information about new dealer locations and about current dealer activity. Posting here begins with January 1, 2008. As the content grows you might want to use your computer’s “Find-On-This-Page” function to search by City or Zip Code to find information about a dealer near you.

A group of ladies of the Lee Road United Methodist Church in Taylors (Greenville), SC 29687, saw the possibilities of what Antique Improver could do for the beautiful oak of their church sanctuary. In order to finance the project, the group became a dealer for the product and sold enough to pay for what they have used on the church. They intend to continue selling Improver as a money-raising project and are considering the possibility of using the product on the church floors as well. If you would like to contact them about purchasing Antique Improver, first call Jane McGahee, 864-268-0310, and if you can't reach her, call the church office, 864-244-6427.

The New Year, 2008, was off to a quick start on January 2, with our first new dealer of the year, Richard Hall, whose business name is Richard’s Chair Seats. Richard does caning and repairing of old chairs and also teaches chair caning. We shipped retail orders to Richard several times for his own use, then we started receiving orders from students who heard about Antique Improver from him at his classes. It soon became obvious that the wise thing would be for him to become a dealer, so he ordered a supply of 8-oz. Antique Improver. Richard is in Palmetto, GA, 30268. If you are interested in the product (or in caning classes), you can reach him at 770-463-2160.

Welcome to the newest Kramer Blog. We have found this format to be so convenient on the Turpentine Story page and on the News page, that we have added it to this Find-A-Dealer page.
Though we have designed and written the pages of our Web Site, expertise required to be certain the site functions properly is beyond where our talents lie. We have left building and maintenance of the site up to our very competent Web Mistress. When we want to make a change, or addition, we contact her and she does her thing. However, on the pages where she has added “Blog” capability, we can access the site directly at any time and do not have to bother her – a benefit to all concerned.
On this Find-a-Dealer page we maintain a current listing of our Master Dealers. As we have noted at the top of the page, there are many other dealers carrying a partial line of the products, but it is impossible for us to keep that list current and reliable enough to post permanently. However, by using this Blog we are going to attempt to post current news about new dealers and dealers who have recently replenished their stock. We will include city, Zip Code and a phone number. This will enable the customer to contact the dealer directly to verify availability.
We intend to go back to the beginning of the year (2008) to begin this listing. We will add information as quickly as we can. As the list grows you may want to use your computer's “Find in This Page” function to search for a convenient dealer.
REMEMBER . . . After first checking the Master Dealer listing, then this Blog, if you do not find a source, do not hesitate to contact us for further information about possible dealers – there are many others. (And, when you do, please supply your Zip Code – we find that is the most efficient way to “search”.)
We hope this new addition will be helpful. Please be patient while we enter information to make it current, starting with 1/1/2008. And, as always, we welcome your input as to how this is working and any suggestions you might have.
We want to make it as convenient as we possibly can for our customers to find our products. We do appreciate your business.
