Tim,

I spoke with a company representative from the St. Mary's plant yesterday. She told me that the Halogen Super Saver sales at Lowes has far surpassed expectations. Lowes stores are considering making an end aisle display of our bulbs in all stores. According to my source this is a marketing strategy that Lowes reserves for products which sell very well and usually increases the volume of sales. This in my opinion is very good news. The success of this lamp in my opinion can be contributed to all our Union Brothers and Sisters who have worked very hard to get the word out about this Union made product. I would like to take this opportunity, on the behalf of the Brothers and Sisters of Local 1001, to thank those who have diligently went and made a point to buy American made products. Thank you again for all your help. I have since spoken with matt Gontarz, Wellsboro plant manager, and he has confirmed that the first week of the product launch Lowes is reporting 22,000 units sold. They expect these numbers to go up as there has been very little advertisement on the product release and as I mentioned before Lowes has realized the potential with the product and are strategically placing them throughout the stores. Can you please forward this to your mailing list please?
