The more complex things get the more money the people who service the machines get... the more you have to spend on specialty chemicals... the more that everyone gets ..

except the Cleaner who's just broken his back for the last hour or so...

I've seen to may guys go out of business... who tried to go all out with specialty machinery...specialty chemicals... special this special that...

If they just had listen to me...soap and water maybe they'd still be around today...

Manytimes I remember (in the old days) traveling 8 hours (or more) to do demo's, etc...  Calling individuals who had previously inquired on our equipment.

There's an old saying:

"Opportunity doesn't just knock; it beeps as it goes by".

Good Fortune & I'm glad you had a successful presentation day;

Next year or come and see us for an individual showing.

Work smarter, not harder.
