positive changes for the broader U.S. economy. One key indicator,
as reported by the Associated Press, is the number of loans being
made to these types of companies. Read more about how U.S Bank's
lending through its Manufacturing Vendor Services division, is up
15 percent this year from the same period of 2011.
