End of the 3rd Quarter 2008 Today

It's an interesting year, 2008. We have enjoyed Trade Shows in San Diego, Amsterdam and Las Vegas this year.

The fourth quarter will be highlighted nationally in the USA, with the Presidential Election on November 4th. Don't forget to vote!

John McCain, Barack Obama, Bob Barr and Ralph Nader are the four major candidates, though our two-party system will clearly dominate with the McCain - Obama race.

Thank you for your business this year. If we can be of service in the fourth quarter, please let our Customer Service know.

A handy way to process a Tucker Pole order: Drop shipment

Our products are often drop shipped to customers, especially when it is a 12 foot Tucker® Pole model. Distributors can take advantage of our drop shipment services. Historically, it has been the most popular way to expedite a Tucker Pole shipment.

Today, we shipped an order for the United Kingdom via drop shipment per the request of our authorized distributor for the UK. Whether it is big or small, a drop shipment is often the most time effective and hassle free way to deliver our products.

If you have a customer or end user needing a Tucker Pole, we have drop shipped our products routinely to over 25 different counties.

Contact customer service for assistance, thank you.

Back from ISSAInterclean North America

It's nice to be back from this year's ISSAInterclean North America 2008, which was in Las Vegas last week. We made it back on Friday night.

We enjoyed the annual Cy-Hawk football fame on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium, in Iowa City, Iowa. The University of Iowa defeated Iowa State University 17-5 on a wet field, if it's of interest to you.

The Interclean allowed us an opportunity to visit with various distributors, customers, prospects and end users for the Tucker Pole. As well, as see fellow exhibitors and others in the JanSan industry again.

If you didn't get a chance to visit our Stand #1983 or make to the 2008 One Show, don't hesitate to drop us an e-mail or telephone call. We look forward to seeing everyone in Chicago next year. But, don't hesitate to keep in touch with us, if we can be of service to you.

Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc. will exhibit at ISSAInterclean North America 2009 in Chicago, Illinois on October 6-9, 2009 at the McCormick Place Convention Center.

Cheers!
