Actually there is a difference between a non-profit and a
not-for-profit. A not for profit is run and taxed like any other
company but the earnings go to charity, research or some other non-taxed
beneficial use. As my not-for-profit employer puts it, "We're also not
for loss."

Maybe the cost of cones would have gone up a lot more if they didn't
separate them. To tell you the truth I'm amazed anyone bothers with
such a small volume business and we should be thankful for all that
Orton has done and does for us.
