It Appears Russell Buchan mode of operation 

for the business our parents started in 1954

"WE DO NOT"

UPDATED AUGUST 23, 2007
 
 
AFTER 53 YEARS, RUSSELL BUCHAN CLOSED THE FAMILY BUSINESS FOUNDED BY OUR PARENTS, CHARLES AND AMELIA BUCHAN.
 

i BELIEVE RUSSELL'S NEW MOTTO,

“WE DO NOT”,

 WAS NOT ACCEPTED BY CUSTOMERS FAMILAIR WITH THE FAMILY FRIENDLY SERVICE THEY WERE ACCUSTOMED TO THE PREVIOUS FIFTY YEARS. 

 

THIS WRITER ALSO BELIEVES MOST PEOPLE  PREFER NOT TO DO BUSINESS WITH A COMPANY WHERE THE OWNER/OPERATOR HAS ALLEGEDLY

MURDERED HIS OWN MOTHER.

UPDATE JANUARY, 2010

The Large High-Rise sign announcing the business permanently closed in 2007 still stands for all to see on one of the most heavily traveled roadways in St. Petersburg.

It now has the appearance of a grave marker.
