"Grainger's multi-channel model is what distinguishes us from our competition," said Keyser. "No other company has as broad a product line with tens of thousands of items immediately available all across the country." He added, "It is our plan to focus on the major metropolitan areas while selectively acting on market opportunities in secondary markets as we have over the years." Keyser ... noted, "We will augment our branch expansion with an aggressive sales and marketing effort targeted to capture additional market share."

Grainger County's industrial growth has been limited. The Shields family operated Holston Paper Mill, one of the earliest local industries. The Knoxville and Bristol Railway, which once ran through the Richland Creek Valley, succumbed to flooding. The vegetable canneries of the 1910s closed after a tomato blight destroyed their primary produce. Locally owned Clinchdale Lumber Company logged the county's timber in the early part of the century. Later, timbering gave way to knitting mills and zinc mining.

Australian composer Keith Humble once stated that Grainger was ‘the beginning of Australian music’. In fact, Grainger had an ambivalent attitude towards the country of his birth. He lived mostly abroad and, despite his early interest in genre forms, strove for a universal or borderless music that could be played anywhere by anyone.
