Long-Haul Match for VenturCraft

USA VenturCraft, an Abilene, Texas-based manufacturer of high-end custom truck accessories and camping trailers, last week awarded its advertising account to an out-of-state agency.
Tom Davis+Co. in Lexington, Mass., was handed the account after a review that also included The Affinity Group in Abilene.
