“Things are looking up, and that is coming directly form the CEO’s, the owners of the businesses that are seeing the bottom line. They are telling us straight up, it is looking better. I’m seeing an upswing. The end of last year it really slowed down, and December, January and February it keeps going up. We had our biggest month in February that we have ever had. So, so far so good the first three months of this year.” - Doug Vonn, MLS Direct Credit Processing, March 2010
