As I was
cleaning out old files in our office this morning, I found a flyer dated 1996
advertising the DIRT KING  " the All Terrain Trike".  We
had gone to a outdoor power show in Louisville, KY that year and saw your
booth. Our daughter was 4 at that time and after we got back home we decided to
purchase one of these trikes for her.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">I just wanted to let you know that
trike was the hit of the neighborhood. She ended up taking it to our lawn mower
shop and most of the "big kid" customers had a ball with it when
she wasn't riding it. Every kid in our neighborhood has grown up riding that
trike. Now after 20 years, it still looks brand new!!  It is in storage
waiting for the grandkids to come along.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Just wanted to say thank you for
building such a tough trike. The quality of your equipment is absolutely
amazing. Keep up the good work and I hope you are still making these for future
generations!<br><br></span></span></p><hr><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(84, 141, 212);"><span style="font-size: 24px;">....Recently posted at "<a href="http://madeheremadewell.com/journal/five-more-original-gift-ideas-made-in-the-usa"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 24px;">Made Here Made Well</span></span></a><span style="font-size: 24px;">":</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><em>“My son is now 17 and we still have the Dirt King to pass on to his kids – our grandkids.”<br></em></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><em>“Dirt King is like the Harley Davidson of trikes.”</em></span></span></span></p><hr><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt;"><span class="apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva; color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(54, 96, 146);"><span style="color: rgb(84, 141, 212);"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><br>Judith Ackerson,&nbsp; Georgia and Wisconsin</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">I spend my summers in a small town on Lake Michigan, where I live only a mile from downtown. &nbsp;I bought two Adult Duallys and two Big Kid Duallys so that my husband, two young grandchildren and I could ride safely in the bike lanes next to the street as well as on the bike trails along the water. &nbsp;The kids haven't got the experience to maneuver bikes so close to traffic and I no longer have the requisite sense of balance, so these trikes allow us freedom we would otherwise not have. &nbsp;</span></span></span></span></p><hr>

<p class="contentpane" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br />MCM Manufacturing, Inc.&nbsp; will assist customers with filing a UPS claim in the event of loss, theft, or denial signature. However, MCM Manufacturing, Inc.&nbsp; is not responsible for any lost or stolen merchandise. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to contact UPS about any loss or delivery disputes as per our Risk of Loss statement. The purchaser is encouraged to dispute any credit card charges with their Credit Card Company for undelivered merchandise. Doing so allows time to work with UPS, your local authorities, and insurance company regarding any matters of theft.</span></span></p>

<p class="contentpane" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br />Please be advised that banks do NOT treat debit or checking cards like a credit card; they can put two "holds" on your funds. First, your funds are held for verification purposes each time you place an order. They are held a second time when we process your sale. Please understand that there is nothing that we can do on our end to resolve this. These holds are internal banking functions of the bank that handles your card account. Additionally, be aware that a pre-authorization is NOT a charge; it only checks your account for available funds, holds those funds, and checks the address information you provided against the card company's records. The "hold" on your funds will eventually drop off the account after a short timeframe (sometimes up to 10 days) that is determined by your bank's policies. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this banking procedure may cause you.</span></span></p>

<p class="contentpane" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br />The charge on your statement will appear from MCM Manufacturing, Inc. We verify all billing addresses with credit cards, and if the address you enter does not match the credit card record, we will contact you.</span></span></p>]]></description>

<p class="contentpane" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br />Please be advised that banks do NOT treat debit or checking cards like a credit card; they can put two "holds" on your funds. First, your funds are held for verification purposes each time you place an order. They are held a second time when we process your sale. Please understand that there is nothing that we can do on our end to resolve this. These holds are internal banking functions of the bank that handles your card account. Additionally, be aware that a pre-authorization is NOT a charge; it only checks your account for available funds, holds those funds, and checks the address information you provided against the card company's records. The "hold" on your funds will eventually drop off the account after a short timeframe (sometimes up to 10 days) that is determined by your bank's policies. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this banking procedure may cause you.</span></span></p>

<p class="contentpane" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br />The charge on your statement will appear from MCM Manufacturing, Inc. We verify all billing addresses with credit cards, and if the address you enter does not match the credit card record, we will contact you.</span></span></p>]]></content:encoded>

<ul>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Never  ride a tricycle without a helmet. The National Highway Traffic Safety  Administration (NHSTA) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission  (CPSC) recommend that children wear a helmet that complies with the CPSC  standard.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Tricycle,&nbsp;  Big Kids and Adult Trike helmets can reduce head injuries by 85  percent. Select a helmet that fits snugly and sits flat on the head.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For  children, use the extra padding that comes with the helmet to ensure a  proper fit. This padding can be removed as the child head grows.</span></span></div>

</li>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Before  using your trike, check to make sure all parts are secure and working  well. The handlebars should be firmly in place and turn easily. Your  wheels must be straight and secure. &nbsp;Make sure your seat placement is  adjusted to your size.</span></span></div>

<ul>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Always control your speed due to no brakes. If you cannot stop quickly, make sure to control your speed.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Ride slowly in wet weather, ice, other adverse weather conditions and on unlevel surfaces.</span></span></div>

<ul>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">It  is far more dangerous to trike at night than during the day. Dirt King  Adult and Big Kids trikes are equipped for daylight use and do not have  night reflectors to be seen at night.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Young children should NOT ride at night.</span></span></div>

<ul>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Stay  alert at all times. Watch out for potholes, cracks, expansion joints,  railroad tracks, wet leaves, drainage grates, or anything that could  make you fall. &nbsp;Ideally, sidewalks and playgrounds are best place to  ride.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Be especially careful in wet weather and when there could be ice or frost on your path.</span></span></div>

<ul>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Young  children, typically under the age of nine, are not able to identify and  adjust to many dangerous traffic situations, and therefore, should not  be allowed to ride in the street unsupervised. Children who are  permitted to ride in the street without supervision should have the  necessary skills to safely follow the standard rules around motorized  traffic.</span></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #c43051;">Check for Motorized Movement. Always be Aware of The Traffic Around You.</span></span></span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Over  70 percent of car-bicycle-tricycle crashes occur at driveways or other  intersections. Before you enter any street or intersection, check for  traffic. Always look left-right-left, and walk your Big Kids or Adult  Trike into the street to begin your ride. Childrens tricycle when riden  should always be supervised by guardian.</span></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #c43051;">Adult Trike and Big Kids Trike are Considered Vehicles on the Road.</span></span></span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Just  like bicycles, the Adult Trike and Big Kids Trike are considered  vehicles. If riding on the road, which we do not recommend, you must  obey the same rules as motorists.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Read  your State drivers handbook, and learn and follow all the traffic  signs, laws, and rules for operating a vehicle, in this case- a trike on  the road.</span></span></div>

<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Before  using your trike, check to make sure all parts are secure and working  well.

<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">It  is far more dangerous to trike at night than during the day.

<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Young  children, typically under the age of nine, are not able to identify and  adjust to many dangerous traffic situations, and therefore, should not  be allowed to ride in the street unsupervised. Children who are  permitted to ride in the street without supervision should have the  necessary skills to safely follow the standard rules around motorized  traffic.</span></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #c43051;">Check for Motorized Movement. Always be Aware of The Traffic Around You.</span></span></span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Over  70 percent of car-bicycle-tricycle crashes occur at driveways or other  intersections. Before you enter any street or intersection, check for  traffic. Always look left-right-left, and walk your Big Kids or Adult  Trike into the street to begin your ride. Childrens tricycle when riden  should always be supervised by guardian.</span></span></div>

<div class="contentpane"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Read  your State drivers handbook, and learn and follow all the traffic  signs, laws, and rules for operating a vehicle, in this case- a trike on  the road.</span></span></div>
