President’s Notes

Old School, New Ideas

May 24, 2013

Not many of you know this, but as well as being active at Nashville Wraps I am also a pilot. I fly a 1956 model Cessna 172. While it sounds somewhat antiquated, it flies very well. If you look a little closer inside, it has more technology in its avionics than many of the commercial [...]

Only in America

November 6, 2012

While each year we close the polls with a sigh of relief, I believe that every American who votes understands that it is a right which has been and will be paid for by the sacrifices of so many sons and daughters. With such a high price paid, it becomes our duty not only to [...]

The Ingenious Brown Paper Shopping Bag

October 25, 2012

How could an unassuming item like a brown paper bag cause such a scramble? Really, it’s like lots of other things we get used to and take for granted as always being readily available.

Our Carbon Footprint

May 23, 2012

Are paper bags killing trees?

April 6, 2012

Recently I went on a hiking trip with a friend in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. I hadn’t been on that particular trail since I was 16 years old. I kept saying that I remembered the trees being bigger and more of them. My friend said it was just my memory embellishing the forest [...]

Made in America gains momentum

March 16, 2012

We’ve heard it on the news and seen it in our shops; and even at Wal-Mart, there is more talk and more products with that distinctive red, white and blue label. Not only is there a revival beginning of American-made products, it is refueling our economy. We told you so!

The end of recession as we know it

February 29, 2012

By many measurements, our economy is turning itself around. Was this because of a master government plan, or just the guts and hard work of Americans like you and me? I think it was the latter, and here’s why.

The competitor within

February 10, 2012

It used to be that business owners slept with one eye open, watching their competitors. However, over time that has changed a bit. When you look across the field of your competitors today, often you’ll find that they have already gone out of business. If you are left wondering why you are still standing, then [...]
