                  There 
                    are two kinds of mats for which people search:   1 
                      Mats that ought to exist since there is a pressing need 
                      for something in the way of a mat to solve a certain situation 
                      that had better be resolved in a hurry or someone might 
                      get upset, and  
                    2. Mats that definitely do exist because 
                      you either have one in your possession right now and need 
                      another one or a new one, or you saw this mat some place, 
                      or noticed it in a catalog a while back, or had one where 
                      you used to work, and now, where we got it, or who we got 
                      it from is a total mystery.    |

                  | How 
                    people Search for the mat they need is another story all over 
                    again. | 
                 
                 
                   | 
                 
                 
                  | You 
                    can plow through old purchase orders or invoices in the accounting 
                    department in hopes of following the paper trail right to 
                    the exact mat you want. But that could be a great deal of 
                    work with slim prospects of success since mats, if purchased 
                    correctly, can last so long that the need to retain the paper 
                    work that they generated has long since past. |

                  | Looking 
                    at every little nook and cranny on the mat for a sign or a 
                    number or a symbol that will lead you to the manufacturer, 
                    is another way to search.  |

                    your local industrial supply guy, or your advertising specialties 
                    group, or the floor covering and carpet people in town, or 
                    the office supply center, or the kitchen equipment folks, 
                    or the safety equipment vendor are all good ideas too. |

                  | You 
                    can spend some time in the library with any number of source 
                    books with advertisements from companies that make all different 
                    kinds of mats, and that might work. You can call the companies 
                    and get more catalogs and literature and sample pieces, until 
                    you start to see just how vast a field of mats there really 
                    is out there; and still your mat need will remain, most probably, 
                    unresolved. |
