  LogRite and Bailey's have them in their line up.  Now which rule do you want to use?  There are different Rules like DOYLE, INTERNATIONAL 1/4, SCRIBNER DECIMAL plus a few others.  I have never seen a stick with the cedar scale on it but you will need to know what RULE you are going to scale by.   I just use a card with the scale printed on it and a tape measure.

Not sure I unnerstand your statement?  :D  Tennessee often ranks 48th or 49th in the things them peoples rate (education, tax dollars spent for one thing or another, etc).  Our rallying cry is, "Thank God for deleted and deleted";  which means if not for them 2 states, we'd be last.  (ky is not one of the two.) 8)

Polly, wish I was the owner but I am just a customer.
The owners are real nice though. ;)
I am sure they could be reached during business hours.
