Purcells a treasure

Not sure why "Rug redux: Purcell blames customer's recall" [Fearless Consumer, December 8] is worthy of publishing, but I side with the Purcells.

I have known John and Mason Purcell for several years both as friends and in business, and I have no doubt that they handled the matter in an honorable and trustworthy fashion. Their closing on the Downtown Mall should be missed by all.

Hook, publish more relevant news.
