The parent company of Gunlocke (HNI) purchased HBF a while back; and the parent company decided on a national basis that they would move representation of the HBF lines (furniture & textiles) from independent reps to the representatives for Gunlocke. This change is officially supposed to take effect on April 30th, but in the DC region the transition has already begun. For many of the firms that Library Resources assists, the new representative will be Michael Polovina.
