They also touched base with a company that represents some popular lifestyle brands. But, they didn\u2019t stop there!<\/p>\n<p>Davison and Inventionland reps talked with companies that specialize in the tool and hardware industry, the juvenile industry and the outdoor products industry.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds like our representatives covered a lot of ground in their three days at the National Hardware Show! But, you know what they say, \u201cSeeing is believing.\u201d So, here\u2019s even more proof! In total, our representatives made connections that covered over 22 miles!
