Today Clary's customer list read like "Who's who" in US commerce.

In 2001, the company ventured into Internet Marketing. Multiple websites were developed for various product lines with an emphasis on simplicity, user friendliness and customer education. This strategy helped build very strong relationships with the manufacturers / suppliers and gain customer confidence.
