Crossing Pointe: Blair’s Investment Takes Off

When asked if he had any regrets in moving to Warren, a town of only 12,000 just outside of the Allegheny Mountains in the northwestern quadrant of Pennsylvania, Shapiro says with a laugh: “Well, it’s not New York, of course.

“However,” he continues on a more serious note, “Blair includes the loveliest people I’ve met in all of my years in direct marketing. No kidding. Blair’s reputation is stellar. The corporation has strong core values and excellent community and social consciousness. They’re just a very reputable company, and I’ve always known that about them. Now that I’m here, I can see why they have that great reputation.”
