ducted by Inc., The Maga-
zine For Growing Com-
panies, Sonic Industries
ranked #1 in the top 100
fastest growing publiclv-
held smaller companies in
the United States.
And, here in Hondo,
Sonic is growing in a big
way too! It took a lot of
teamwork and effort by the

employees to put together
this successful sales month.
Each month, Sonic In-

area with the highest per-
centage increase in net
sales. If Hondo wins this
honor three months in a
row, the trophy will remain
