Selling running shoes in Salem
Salem is a steel and textile city in the Tamil Nadu interior, surrounded by mango orchards and hill country. It is a practical, industrial market where tools and durable goods sell and little else does.
The city is easy enough to drive with reasonable parking and the industrial areas are distinct from the residential ones. Heat is severe for much of the year.
On tools and industrial equipment, ask about hours under load rather than age. Equipment here is generally worked hard, and a specific answer is a good sign.
