Lets
Dig in and Do Our Part
Surviving, is the word describing our plight during these difficult
economic times. While the mass media and our President decry our
situation as the worst since the great depression and are committed to
borrow and spend, many citizens think the opposite, I find many who
believe the American spirit will persevere however it is done.
As for me, I believe the period of the first oil embargo and very high
interest rates of prime around 20%, was much worse economically
than today. We found a way, adjusted and found many years of prosperity
followed.
I recently visited several of our customers at their locations, mostly
in the West and found them to be looking forward to “09 with good
spirit and intending to Fill Up their Glass. I have talked by telephone
with several in the East and found the same spirit.
How are they coping?
It is the cold season, really cold and lots of snow all around. Some
have found ways of plowing snow to keep key employees on however most
are conducting a review of their equipment, servicing and repairing as
needed. All were taking a critical look at the possible work available
and studying how each machine or tool may fit in during ’09.
I was very pleased to note that when the Orbital Action Screening Plant
had been added to their available machine list, new opportunities had
surfaced and acted upon. Most were looking at additional opportunities
appearing due to the versatility and mobile capabilities of their Orbit
Screen. The task of marketing their new abilities was being implemented
with enthusiasm.
In short, they are Digging In, looking at other areas of work and
planning to Fill UP their Glass. I ask, how can we help you fill
yours?
Brads Blog, “The Finer Cut”, is one of a continuing series. Each issue
will cover a topic of interest about our machines, our industry, our
customers and more. I look forward to this task and am excited about
the opportunity to broaden our communications with our customers and
industry. I invite you to return and visit from time to time, cruising
back through issues to see what I may have been thinking of at another
time.
I also invite you, our reader to contribute by offering your comments.
Please send your thoughts to Brad@orbitscreens.com , by letter or fax,

Happy screening
