A very good suggestion. If not for the internet most of us would still be
using a Lodge skillet and a Farberware pot. I found one store in 50 miles
that had a few copper pieces. At 70 miles I can probably find a couple
more. You may find a good selection in the big cities, but not in the more
rural area. This also applies to writing instruments, specialty foods and
on and on.

I prefer to shop local, but sometimes you just can't.
