Dear Members,
I just inspected the first batch of finished Persians.
I own a manufacturing facility. I run a manufacturing facility. The reason that neither my staff or myself have not given a hard date for the Persians is that we never have a hard date. Anyone who owns or works in manufacturing knows that Mr. Murphy and a host of other circumstances can step in and literally destroy your plan. I must say one more time, there is a huge difference between getting on the phone to China and saying; "Send me another 2000 xyz's. Have them delivered on July 18th, or building something in house. We've learned that a supplier may not deliver material on time, a mill runs out of stock, a storm stops all shipping from the East Coast or even a supplier going out of business can stop a schedule dead in its tracks. We've had all of these and many more take their toll on schedules.
So now you should understand why we won't give a firm date on completion time. When ever we did, it has always come back to bite us.
However when a knife is done, then it is available.
Persians are done!
Call right away as we are already filling backorders on them.
My Best Regards,
Ernest R. Emerson

), the Persian is the Emerson which catches my fancy the most.
