Does This Get You Excited???
| |
Once again excitement is rising in anticipation of this year's Super Bowl game in Indianapolis. Who would have thought 45 years ago that the Super Bowl would become what it is today? How many of you remember Super Bowl III when Joe Namath predicted "in your face" that the Jets would defeat Baltimore? His next claim to fame was when he wore panty hose in a television commercial. Now many folks watch the game hoping to see far out commercials. We love to be entertained!!! So how does the Super Bowl fit in to all this door and hardware stuff? It's the excitement! You see, excitement is what helps drive us. We at Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware get excited about our customers and friends. We get excited when we can help you design an opening or create a new access control system. We get excited when you call. The fact that so many of you continue to allow us to be your first choice for supplying doors, hardware, access control and toilet partitions, gets us excited. Yes, we are excited and as no surprise to anyone, we get really excited each time you send us an order. Thanks for a great 2011 and thanks for working together with us for a "Super 2012".
I'm excited and I appreciate you!
Ed Shimpock, AHC, VP, General Manager

Customer Spotlight

He has worked with the department for 22 years and has been the director for five years. Charles is married to Pamela and he has two step-children. His hobbies include Nascar and golf.
"I have been a customer of Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware the entire 22 years I have been at the Hoke County Board of Education. I have found some products out there that are almost impossible to locate, but somehow they always find just what we need when we need it the most. That type of relationship is hard to come by these days. Their pricing is also great. We are just completing a project at our high school media center that required some major door hardware, and there was Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware to the rescue again with what we needed, on time, and within our budget numbers. That is just one of the many examples of the great working relationship we have with Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware. Thanks for the past years together!"

Quarterbacks, Pantyhose and Chunky Soup Most everyone knows in football, the quarterback throws the ball or hands it off to the running back, but where does the term "Quarterback" come from? This term actually comes from Rugby, where the quarterback would stand one-quarter of the way back on the field from the forward players. Now you know!
Some players are well known for other things than just their playing skills. Joe Namath was a well-known quarterback for the New York Jets, but also has another claim to fame; he was a television pitchman for pantyhose in the 1970's. That's right, Namath endorsed the Beautymist brand of pantyhose stating he didn't wear them, but if they made his legs look good, they can make women's legs look even better!
Superstitions sometimes tend to follow football around, like the Campbell's Chunky Soup legend. Which history notes any professional football player that has his picture on the soup can, ends up injured or otherwise out of the game spotlight. The legend may or may not be true, since there are many reasons why players end up injured or disappear from the spotlight, per the Snopes website explanation, being on a soup can before it happens might only be a coincidence.
