Hello Fellow Giant Pumpkin Growers Extraordinaire,
I watch the messages from time to time to keep abreast of what's going on in
the world of giant pumpkins. Many a question and answer has stimulated me to
rethink my own attitudes about growing giants. Keep it up. Something good
always comes out of dialogue spent in the pursuit of excellence. Enough said!
I wish you to be the first notified of the introduction of a tape measure
designed and printed especially for giant pumpkin growers. It took me 5 years
to find someone who would tackle the problem of printing a tape measure that
was more than 10' (120") long and was made of soft, flexible material.
This new tape measure is printed with fade resistant ink on soft, vinyl
coated fiberglass and is 16' long (192"). Circumference weight estimates are
printed right on the tape, along with inches, from 50" (42 pounds) to 192"
(1420 pounds). That should keep you for a while.
If you've ever grown a pumpkin over 400 pounds, you know that measurements
after that must be taken with two 10' tape measures attached to one another.
You won't have to do that with this tape, and you'll have a quick reference
of weight, right on the tape.
If you would like more information (I've prepared a postcard for that
purpose), privately email me with your address, or call me toll free at
800-985-7878. Best times to call are between 4pm-8pm EST.
Tape measures are $10 each, or 3 for $20 or, for a limited time, free with
the purchase of any of my giant pumpkin books. For instance, for $14.95 plus
$4 shipping and handling ($18.95), you can receive my first book (WCGP I) and
a free tape measure. You can buy WCGP II for 21.95 with a free tape measure,
or you can buy both books for $29.95 plus $4 shipping and handling ($33.95),
and receive two free tape measures.
I apologize for this solicitation, but I felt that you would be the most
interested in this new product, and I wanted you to be the first to know
about it.
Best wishes,
Don Langevin
