Definitely agree, The Thomas Register's day came and went a long time ago. Wonder what they paid for it? I hope not much.

I knew I made it when I got my McMaster Carr catalog. I love the big yellow book. And they still send them.

As I expected when a seller buys a sourcer.

Welcome to the December edition of the Thomasnet.com[SUP]®[/SUP] Monthly Update.

By now, you might have heard the exciting news that Thomas has joined the Xometry family, giving you access to Xometry's Instant Quoting Engine that provides prices and lead times in seconds. And if you need help with sourcing supplies while staying on budget, we recommend trying the Supplies Flex Program, which allows you to stock your shop with enough raw materials for up to 90 days' worth of jobs, with no upfront costs or fees.

Speaking of sourcing, we are amazed by the 1,120 responses from our sixth COVID-19 supply chain survey. Your stories are exceptional. If you haven’t done so, click here to complete the survey. We will make sure to send you the free report, plus you get a chance to join our free private virtual meet-ups for you to network with peers in your industry.

On behalf of the Thomas-Xometry family, we want to thank you for all that you do for North American manufacturing. Your ingenuity and hard work continue to inspire us. Happy Holidays!

P.S. For everyone who's a procrastinator, here’s a list of 21 of the best gifts for engineers curated by our brilliant editors.
