Our oldest local customer was in for a new Tucker Brush this week

We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day holiday weekend.  We enjoyed the three days away from the office.  Time to enjoy with friends and family...

This morning, the Tuesday, after Memorial Day, our oldest local customer came in to order a new 12 AT brush (pictured above).  It's not every day, when you have an opportunity to greet a customer who has been using our equipment for over 50-55 years.  He was thinking it was back in the 1950s.

He needed a new Tucker brush to clean his automobile.  His original brush cracked and he needed to be replaced.

Gene will turn 99 years old this year.  He and his wife have been married 76 years.  He continues to mow his own lawn, but he did give up mowing and fertilizing his neighbors yard a couple of years ago.

He mentioned today that he has bought our equipment for four locations over the years.  Gene is retired from the automotive and recreational vehicle trade.  He was telling about his adult children.  He mentioned some of them are retired now, as well.

We are excited about a possible new prospect from the Country of Botswana this week.  Over the years, we have enjoyed doing business in Nigeria, Egypt and other African nations.  Through FedEx, we ship to over 25 different foreign locations. 

One real strong market presently for the Tucker Pole is the Country Canada.  Whether it be the in-house professional at an educational institution or the contract professional for a window cleaning company, the Tucker Pole is a popular way to reach, wash and clean windows and other exterior surfaces.

We welcome September to our various customer, vendors, distributors and friends

September has arrived! Wow, where have the past eight months gone! Labor Day weekend is approaching and the coming of Autumn. Though, the weather today in Cedar Rapids is hot and humid.

We want to wish Carole Tucker a Happy Birthday, this September 1St. Carole has been a part of Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc. for over twenty years now.

Domestic customers will see a change in our logistics, starting this month. DB Schenker is following DHL and will no longer be shipping in the States. International customers will not be impacted.

The Cedar Rapids Chamber of Commerce will host an International Event this month.

We have been invited to be a part of the program, which we are looking forward to being a part of the CEO Panel Discussion. Our company has enjoyed helping international customers dating back to the early 1960s. We entered the Japanese market in 1964.

We will be preparing for our next Trade Show and Convention this month. We look forward to seeing many of you at this year's ISSA/INTERCLEAN Las Vegas 2011 on October 17-20. We will be exhibiting again this year. Our Stand is Booth #3318 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

School is back in session, as we begin a new year 2011/12. Please let us know how we can be of service to you this school year. We want to thank the various in-house professionals, building service contractors, professional window cleaners and individuals that utilize the Tucker Pole at their facilties.
