			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hope the holidays find you well and business is prosperous.</p>
<p>I do have some important information for you regarding our holiday schedule this year. We have just completed our new facility and will be moving our operations during the Christmas shutdown this year. This means that we will not be shipping any products from December 22, 2012 until we reopen on January 2, 2013.</p>
<p>I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause; however, it is necessary to ensure we can continue to provide the best combination of quality, service, and overall value well into the future. I will be available during this time by phone and email. Receipt of orders will be confirmed as normal, but the shutdown dates are not available for production.</p>
<p>Because of this, please send in any orders that must ship in 2012 as soon as possible – particularly orders for cores. We will do our best to ship everything we can prior to the holidays.</p>
<p>Our updated contact information is:</p>
<p>CMB Manufacturing, LLC &#8211; dba Master-Sand™<br />
Mail: PO Box 201<br />
Physical: 5605 13th Street<br />
Menominee, MI 49858</p>
<p>Phone: (920) 915-2079<br />
Fax: (920) 482-4926</p>
<p>Web: http://www.master-sand.com<br />
General Email: info@master-sand.com</p>
<p>This contact information can be used immediately; but after December 22, the address and fax number above are the only ones which will reach us. Please ensure your information is up to date.</p>
<p>Also, considering the current state of the market, we will maintain our current price lists going forward into 2013. We’re glad to be able to keep things stable for you – I’m proud to say that we have not had a price increase on abrasives since January 1, 2009.</p>
<p>If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please let me know. I certainly appreciate your business, and I look forward to working together with you to make 2013 a great year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s an example of how Master-Sand™ sanding brushes can really boost your bottom line.</p>
<p>A typical sanding brush:<br />
55 mm height<br />
630 mm length<br />
Cora KF376 green aluminum oxide abrasive</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Typical Retail Prices:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>European manufacturer: <span style="color: #ff0000;">US$33.32 per brush <span style="color: #000000;">($1199.52 for set of 36)</span><br />
</span></li>
<li>Master-Sand™ replacement sanding brushes: <span style="color: #ff0000;">US$17.86 per brush<span style="color: #000000;"> ($642.96 for set of 36)</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the difference?  When it comes to performance and durability, NOTHING.  When it comes to lead time, we&#8217;ll deliver faster.  When it comes to price, you save $15.46 per brush, and put over $550 in your pocket for each sanding head you fill.</p>
<p>We understand times are tough.  Why spend more on European-made brushes when you can get the best quality and the best service at the best price?</p>
<p>Give us a call or send an email today.  Let us know you&#8217;re switching from another brand of sanding brushes, and we&#8217;ll pay the freight on your first order.</p>
<p>Master-Sand™ replacement sanding brushes fit heads from Master-Sand™, Flex-Trim, Pro-Flex, Slipcon (straight hubs only), and most others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi, folks.  We heard through the grapevine today that our European competition is raising prices.  We just want to remind you that we offer the same Cora green abrasives they do, mounted on a top-quality brush, at a much better price.  We can also still use Deer AO and SC abrasives for higher-volume customers looking for a great value. We&#8217;ve held our prices the same since January 1, 2009.</p>
<p>How do we do it?  We&#8217;re domestic.  Our brushmaker is located in the same building as we are.  When the value of the dollar goes down, we don&#8217;t see the same effects as overseas suppliers do.  We choose to keep our overhead low and make our impressions with our product rather than our curb appeal.</p>
<p>We are also shipping fast.  Lead times are 10 days or less.</p>
<p>Make sure you&#8217;re giving your customers the best product, the best price, and the fastest service possible.  If you need sanding brushes, please give us a call or send an email.  We will be happy to quote brushes for almost any head, including Flex-Trim heads, straight Slipcon heads and QuickWood™ heads.  You&#8217;ll see the difference in your bottom line &#8211; guaranteed.</p>
