      Keeton's customer service is outstanding! Pressing a button doesn't lead to good service. No prompts, no AVR - REAL PEOPLE!!! Keep up the great work!!! No wonder you are still thriving after 60 years!!!

      I THINK KEETONS HAS TWO RULES FOR THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE STAFF.
      RULE 1. THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.
      RULE 2. IF YOU THINK THE CUSTOMER IS WRONG, THEN READ RULE 1 AGAIN.
      GREAT SERVICE GUYS!

      For good old fashioned service, this is the place. It's like turning the clock back in time to when service really meant something.

      Keeton's has been my Art store for at least 6 years. I buy all my paints, brushes, paper,canvas,etc there. They always greet you, and ask if you need any help and always find whatever your looking for. Not to mention all the wonderful Artist you can take lessons from, and I might add, at a reasonable price.
