A NEW ERA BEGINS
OUR MARCH/APRIL SALE WAS A GREAT SUCCESS,. WE TRIPLED OUR SALES. MANY CUSTOMERS WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR 20% DISCOUNT. THE SALE IS NOW OVER AND MY SON MARK HAS TAKEN OVER THE BUSINESS. THE GOOD NEWS IS, NONE OF THE PARTS THAT WE MANUFACTURE WILL DISAPPEAR. IT HAS BEEN A LONG, GREAT 47 YEAR RUN. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD REMANUFACTURE THE RUCKSTELL AXLE, BUT WE DID. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD MANUFACTURE 300 OTHER PARTS FOR THE MODEL T FORD, BUT WE DID. WE SUPPLY ALL OF THE OTHER DEALERS WITH OUR PARTS AND I AM SURE THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR THEM. MY SON MARK HAS MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF REPRODUCING THE RAJO HEAD. IT WAS A MAJOR PROJECT AND HAS BEEN QUITE SUCCESSFUL. SO HE IS A NATURAL TO TAKE OVER THE BUSINESS. I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE WONDERFUL CUSTOMERS WE HAVE HAD. WE WILL MISS YOU. BUT YOU CAN STILL FIND ME IN MY GARAGE AND MODEL T MUSEUM WORKING ON MY 1909, 1911 AND 1914 TOURING CARS. HOPE I FINISH THEM BEFORE I AM CALLED TO LIVE WITH MY MAKER. GLEN

Re: A NEW ERA BEGINS
THANK YOU and thanks to Mark for continuing your business.... your contributions have helped keep the hobby and numerous Model T's alive. I'm sure Mark will bring his own set of talents and ideas to the job with the result that things will only get better in the coming years. Enjoy your retirement!

Re: A NEW ERA BEGINS
Good news for all! Glen, ENJOY your time! You have earned it!
Mark, Enjoy the business! I hope you have been able to make a good settlement with retiring from the "force".
I know all of us will enjoy being able to get the part we need to keep our beloved model Ts on the road.
And I hope to be able to call in an order myself, hopefully in a couple months.

Re: A NEW ERA BEGINS
It is so nice to see a great tradition transition to a new generation. An amazing family story that has served our community so well over the years past and for years to come. A real success story that is so heartwarming.
None of us is as smart as all of us.
