Hi Mr. Sales/Owner/Helpful Person!
Perhaps you remember selling paracord to a young boy (age 13) and his mother on Thursday last week.
We spoke about the Grape Festival in Naples and the hope of making and selling paracord bracelets--very
similar to those that your wife makes and you sell in your store.
Luke (the young boy) and his friend, Phill (also 13 yrs old), spent two days and several evenings making
the bracelets. They had a supply of about 20-25?? I personally lost track because they were doing lots of
different styles, some worked, some did not.
Armed w/ a shoe box, $15, bracelets, snacks, drinks, card table and chairs, a sign and some grape-vine decorations;
the boys set up their "booth" at the south end of Naples. By 6:00 pm Saturday, they had $135. By 4:00 pm Sunday
they had $200 left over; but had spent $20 on food during the two days!
Wow! Thank you for all your help! Thanks for the ideas you gave to Luke and me while we were in your store!
We will be back to get more cord and clips. It was fun. It was a lesson and they are going to try to continue making and
selling bracelets of many colors!
Very sincerely, Carol. A very satisfied customer!

Iron Mikes is awesome. My husband and I are both Marines and I could seriously spend all day there. It looked like the Marine Corps threw up in that store. And Iron Mike is pretty awesome himself. He's very helpful and entertaining :) I loved the store, and I will definetly be back to buy more or to just come in and swap military stories. There are lots of military gear, decals for military members and those who love us, tshirts, inert grenades, filed gear, k bars, and lots of historic items. We're actually getting dressed to go back for a visit right now. See you soon Mike! I recently returned from Peace Corps after serving 26 months in the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. I bought everything new before my trip ranging from expensive north face apparel to EMT pants at Iron Mike's Military Exchange in Canandaigua. After two years of mountain hiking, hand washing and traveling the only pair of pants that didnt have holes, rips or tears were my EMT pants purchased at Iron Mike's Military Exchange.
Thanks for the high quality products.
