Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
Inventory Disclosure [Text Block]	2 - INVENTORY Inventory, consisting principally of products held for resale, is stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. The amount presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is net of valuation allowances of $7,189,000 and $7,848,000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Based upon regular evaluations of inventory to identify costs in excess of the lower of cost or net realizable value and slow-moving inventory, we increased our reserves by $180,000 for both years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and such amounts were recorded as costs of goods sold.
