Hump Day of the First week of the New Year ...
Happy New Year everyone ...
Blogs are always a good way to communicate news and a variety of information. It's nice to be back in the swing of things, but one New Year's Resolution I already need to work on is keeping the blog updated regularly. Where does all the time go in a day?
We hope 2011 is off to a good start for you.
We enjoyed New Year's Day watching college football. It was a bad day for the Big Ten Conference schools going 0-5. The Rose Bowl was sure a good game though. Congratulations to coach Gary Patterson and his TCU Horned Frogs, in the 21-19 win over Wisconsin.
We have had e-mail issues in 2010. Some Microsoft products work well and some do not. We haven't fully resolved the problem, but we are working on it.
Our normal business hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
We have enjoyed conversations with good long-term customers in England and California this week. Our thoughts are with one of our customers as they have surgery today.
On a more somber note recently:
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rita Ertel, Bob Ertel's wife, due to the passing of Bob over the holidays. Bob Ertel was a former owner of J. Racenstein Company, formerly of New Year City. Bob was a great customer and distributor for many years up until he sold the company to the present owners, who also distribute our products. Bob was instrumental in the creation of the industry's first professional window cleaning catalog. He made the Tucker Pole a part of his first catalog. We are grateful for his business over the years. Bob's wife was also involved in the company, so we enjoyed seeing them at shows and doing business with both of them.
Bob and his former business partner, Marty Racenstein, were instrumental in the creation of the IWCA. We were invited to be one of the founding members of the association. We have enjoyed many shows over the years with Bob, Rita and many others. The association has changed in many ways, since the early days, when Bob and Rita were present. The size hasn't changed much. It certainly become more of a DIY show for the window cleaning profession.
Back to College Football this week, it is nice to congratulate both Stanford and Ohio State for wins in the Orange and Sugar bowls, respectively.
Yes, the season is winding down, but I do enjoy my college football. Of course, the NFL Playoffs kick off on Saturday and before we know it, January will be in the books and Super Bowl Sunday and Daytona 500 will be occurring.
If you have any questions about our products, please let us know. Our normal business hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Of course, you can communicate via fax, e-mail, voice mail, Twitter, Linkedin or Facebook 24/7. We will get back to you, as soon as is practical. Your business in 2011 is much appreciated and we have enjoyed helping people, since 1945, when my grandfather took a part of another company and started what is Tucker today.

Happy New Year: Do you have a question about Waterfed in the New Year?
waterfed questions?
1. What pole would be right for this job?
2. Do I have the right parts and accessories?
3. Do I need a different brush?
4. Can I have more hose without a problem with water pressure?
5. What is my TDS?
6. How should I best obtain "spot free" water?
We have been helping customers with waterfed questions over the past fifty years of service. Contact us today to visit about unlocking the benefits of the Tucker Pole and waterfed technology.

Happy New Year everyone; We wish you the very best in 2009
We invite you to make the Tucker Pole a part of your New Year's Resolutions in 2009. Make short work out of washing and cleaning windows and other exterior surfaces.

Congratulations to the University of Iowa football team in their 2009 Outback Bowl victory today over the University of South Carolina in Tampa, FL to kick off the January 1 college bowl games today. Iowa defeated South Carolina 31-10 and should be a very competitive team again in 2009. RTThe University of Iowa played a major role in the development of the Tucker® High-Level Window Washer in 1957. Prior to that, Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc. was manufacturing a home-car washer, in addition to some unrelated products.

We invite you to make the Tucker Pole part of your New Year's Resolutions
Today's reflection:
LaVerne Tucker, Robin's mother and Tommy's wife, has always been a strong believer in New Year's Resolutions. As she raised her three children, LaVerne would often request New Year's Resolutions from all her guests during the family's New Year's Day dinner that she often hosts.
To break the ice, she would give a piece of paper to all her guests with the following writing on it written straight down the left side of the 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper...
Using the beginning letter, the guest can make a New Year's Resolution statement for each letter, by creating a sentence using each beginning letter for each resolution. By the way, she often would do the same for Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas at other holiday events that LaVerne has hosted over the years. A mother's tradition of New Year's Resolutions and Holiday cheer... one of the many Tucker family traditions celebrated over the years.
Making New Year's Resolutions is healthy, whether one is either formal or informal about it. We encourage you to make your own New Year's Resolutions for 2009. We invite you to make the Tucker Pole a part of your New Year Resolutions. We want to thank our customers for their business in 2008 and previous years.
In 2009, Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc. will celebrate our 45Th anniversary of our business relationship with our Japanese Distributor, Zaoh Company, Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan. We have much to be thankful over the years and we look forward to the New Year of 2009.
On behalf of everyone at Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc., of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, we wish you and those close to you, a Happy New Year and the very best in the coming year.
Respectfully submitted by Robin Tucker.
