You can bet that manufacturers do not put their names on products that are inferior. I was waiting for someone to use a little sense! I spoke with several fabric manufacturers several years ago about the recurring false information that nationally known companies make one fabric for WalMart and another for all other retailers. Everyone of them said essentially the same things: (1) We can't afford separate plants/production lines for WalMart and (2) We can't afford to put our names on products that are inferior no matter which retailers sells them. "I never cease to be amazed," one of them told me, "what people believe to be true even when it is completely unreasonable and when we try to tell them the truth." While this is not an issue to go to war over, I would not hesitate for a minute to buy a brand name product from WalMart or KMart. Some of the best items I have ever had came from those places. froggyintexas
