A Really Different Small Business Day for 2013

A Really Different Small Business Day for 2013

Saturday, Nov. 24 was Small Business Day. Nestled between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Day is a time to encourage consumers to buy from small retailers. President Barack Obama made a big deal about buying some books at a small bookstore.
