Zeno needs explaining. An old Italian couple came in to buy a set.
Real thick accent. After getting a feel for what they needed I
ask about brand preference. "Nothing but a Zeno" It was one of
those memorable things & became part of the shop lingo & my
screen name.
Yes they did buy the Zeno. Mediterranean cabinet of course !
