Country Manor gift shop in Sperryville was named as a finalist in the American Catalogue Awards, Jimmy Swindler announced last week. Mr. Swindler, whose family owns Country Manor, explained that the store tied with two other catalogues for the award in that category. “The finalist award was really a three-way tie for first place,” he said.
This year was the first competition for the American Catalogue Awards, sponsored by Catalogue Age, the trade publication of the direct mail business. More than 350 catalogue companies competed for awards in 15 categories, Mr. Swindler said. Country Manor competed in the $30 to $50 average sale order category.
