If you were lucky enough to get your first issue of Heritage Iron, congratulations! Hope you liked it. If you're still waiting on it, thank the budget cuts of the USPS. Earlier this month I sent a box with over 1,000 subscriptions in it to the subscription office. It was sent priority mail WITH a tracking number. This was not a small box and it was a genuine priority mail box. Not too easy to overlook. But somehow, the USPS still managed to lose it! I have worn a path in the floor wondering how to recover from a setback like this. The tracking number showed exactly where it landed but for 7 days, no one could find it. FINALLY, they found it today. No explanation was provided as to where it was hiding but at this point, I didn't care. As long as they had it I could breathe again.
Because of this setback in entering subscriptions, we have delayed the last mailing of Issue #1 until we can get all the subs entered. At this time, we are planning to mail again around January 9th. So if you haven't received that first issue yet and you sent in your subscription, hang in there. We're going to get you one mailed...just a little later than expected.
For those of you that sent Christmas cards....THANK YOU! I save every one of them. Due to the "light at the end of the tunnel" issue discussed earlier, I didn't have time to mail out a single card. So don't feel left out if you didn't get one. No one did. Two magazines can sure keep a gal busy.
Today I ordered t-shirts that should be available the end of the month. I think they're going to be sharp! I'll have them at the Heritage Iron/Oliver Heritage booth at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, KY if you want one. We're also going to have a contest to name our "muscle tractor" image. More details will follow after I get this next issue done. I personally like Brutus or Hoss but I've heard a few other good ones. Put your thinking cap it. It could win you a free subscription, t-shirt and more.
See ya next year!!!

Hi Sherry,
Just wanted to let you know that
I did get issue-1 of Heritage Iron
even though I was a little late
with my subscription. We met last
summer at Jerseyville, Illinois
NTPA pull. You were handing out
fliers about your magazines. I had the Oliver hat on. Never did get to pull but living near Pleasnat Hill pulling was always part of our lives. Both of your magazines are great reading for someone who grew up on Olivers during the 50's, 60's and 70's. Keep up the good work! Thanks!
