[TheForge] flypress

Mon Sep 29 17:47:10 2003

Hope all is well.   Thank you for your plug on the internet.  We don't like
to advertise on theforge and we were hoping someone would.

We are still interested in having you be a dealer for Off Center Products in
Canada.   Initially we would be willing to deal with you on consignment, if
you wish.  Our only requirement would be that you make a delivery of your
castings to us and  then you can bring the Off Center Products  and perhaps
other items back with you.  We would mention your contact info on our
website as our Canadian dealer.  Let us know if you are interested.     The
Kaynes
