The  an acronym for: Local Independent Framing Expert, was first developed by John Barlowe
owner of Frame Shop Art Gallery & Gifts of Holland,Ohio as a way of differentiating his own
locally owned business from the Big Impersonal Chain Stores.
It became such a success that he wanted to share it with other independents as well.
