Our humble and sincere
thanks to all!
Since 1998 when we began with
magnetic flame graphics, expanded into vinyl products, sunshades and yes even watches, you have supported us, given us ideas and shared 1000's of pictures. A special thank
you to Art Himsl who gave us his brilliance in design, his time and his friendship. There is no one better in this industry, no one! To Howdy Ledbetter for his help and
early support plus introduction to Art. Nancy Sanders has been with me 16 years and made this dream possible with her devotion, reason, creativity, work ethic and honesty.
Most of you have probably spoken to Nancy at one time or another; probably the kindness voice you have heard; don't let that fool you though. My wife Robin always gave her
support of new markets and ideas. "Let's exhaust all possibilities" she said, well now we have. What would men do without this kind of emotional support?
T&T Graphics in Miamisburg, Ohio provided us with exceptionally high quality and consistency in production, thanks Tony Albers; Flexmag Industries in Marietta, Ohio
manufactured for us the highest quality, strongest and thinnest magnetic material available in today's market place while continually emphasizing our application; thank
you Ginny Cottrell. All products were manufactured using .015" thin; 16 point high energy magnetic flames that did not come off until you took them off. To our
knowledge, only MAG-nificent Impressions (www.FastFlames.com) used this technology. Tony So, thank you for your creative web and ad design. Thanks to Cybermark, Int. for
their ongoing web maintenance, monitoring and maximization.
Finally thanks to Manuel Zavala and Andy Brito of AutoZone, Mexico for their incredible support and
friendship. You taught me more about retail then perhaps I wanted to know. Fred Bargiacchi, I cannot thank enough for his incredible commitment; I only wish we had
developed this business relationship in 1998. Thanks to JC Whitney for being brave in this new world of magnetic flame graphics as our first catalog customer in February
1999 and staying with us to the end. Dave Houston of Herrington Catalog exposed us to a whole new world of catalog advertising and high volume sales, we are grateful for
this opportunity and your friendship. Chico Kodama of Moon Eyes and all the other catalog relationships that supported us deserve acknowledgement.
What began as a
hobby with incredibly talented people is no longer a profitable venture in the limited quantity we produced and sold. Thirty eight (38) years ago I joined my father Jack
Hanley in the financial planning business he founded in 1954 and have developed wonderful life long relationships with these clients. This is where Nancy and I will spend
our time for the next 20 years. Please visit www.mphanley.com to give you an idea of my other life in
Walnut Creek, CA. The site is being redesigned and will be fully operational January 15, 2007. Thanks again for your support, kindness and integrity. Only one customer out
of 20,000+ in 8 years failed to pay, that says a lot about you and your character. It has been a great ride.
