Most suppliers want new accounts. A prime source for finding suppliers is the Thomas Register of Manufacturers, which lists manufacturers by categories and geographic area. Most libraries have a directory of manufacturers listed by state. If you know the product-line manufacturers, a letter or phone call to the companies will get you the local distributor-wholesaler. In some lines, trade shows are good sources of getting suppliers and looking over competing products.
