What does the gold fringe around an American flag mean?
I know some of you have seen 'em before. I used to know but have since forgotten. It means something very specific,..it's not just for decoration.
Gold fringe is used on the National flag as an honorable enrichment only. It is not regarded as an integral part of the flag and its use does not constitute an unauthorized addition to the design prescribed by statutes.
Records of the Department of the Army indicate that fringe was used on the National flag as early as 1835 and its official use by the Army dates from 1895. There is no record of an Act of Congress or Executive Order which either prescribes or prohibits the addition of fringe, nor is there any indication that any symbolism was ever associated with it. The use of fringe is optional with the person or organization displaying the flag

Understanding Itronix Leasing Options
Zach Hubeck, marketing director for WAV Inc. explains Itronix Leasing Options
Q. What should VARs know about Itronix Leasing?
A. WAV ONLINE: Leasing is extremely flexible. Many specialized equipment finance programs can be tailored to your needs and the needs of your customers. In fact, leasing can be used strategically to accelerate cash flow and commissions and better position your company for growth.
Q. HOW CAN SERVICE PROVIDERS CONSERVE OPERATING CAPITAL?
A. WAV ONLINE: Leasing Itronix equipment makes sense for companies that don't want to be asset rich as cash poor. Cash poor service providers can't respond quickly to new business opportunities.
Q. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF LEASING?
A. WAV ONLINE: There are several advantages of leasing. The first is simple. Monthly payments on a lease are an expense, whereas a loan is a debt. Even better, with technology advancing so quickly, you can upgrade faster. fast advances in technology, equipment such as your computer system will be out of date in a few years. Leasing this type of equipment allows you to upgrade the system every few years. If an asset depreciates over time, leasing may be the best option.
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE DISADVANTAGES OF LEASING?
A. WAV ONLINE: The cost of leased equipment is higher than an outright purchase. And, at the end of the lease contract the company does not own the equipment, the lessor does.
Q. WHAT KIND OF LEASING IS AVAILABLE ON GENERAL DYNAMICS ITRONIX PRODUCTS?
A. WAV ONLINE: General Dynamics Itronix offers a broad range of financing solutions to customers across the industries we serve. Custom financing programs can be tailored to match your current and future technology and financial needs. Program benefits include:
• Pre-qualification to determine maximum purchasing power
• Deferred payments
• Flexible payment frequencies (monthly, semi-annual, quarterly, annual)
• Financial resources that provide innovative solutions to meet budget restraints
• Funds for matching grant requirements
• Ownership of the acquisition at the end of the term with one dollar purchase option that offers greatest economic impact.
Q. HOW DO DEFERRED PROGRAMS WORK?
A. WAV ONLINE: This lease payment structure allows the equipment to start generating revenue for up to three months before payments begin. Companies can acquire their equipment now without a large upfront capital outlay.
Q. WHAT ABOUT STEP PAYMENT PROGRAMS?
A. Flexible step programs allow service providers to pay a smaller percentage of the lease payment for the first year and then resume normal payments for the remaining term. This option may give you needed breathing room to get a project off the ground or simply delay full payment until cash flow can support the payment.
Q. SO WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
A. WAV ONLINE: Decide if your business needs to own the equipment or merely use it. A strong vision of where the company's strategic direction is heading and the future financial needs of the business is vital. If you are planning on selling the company in a few years, the higher net worth from equipment leasing can be more attractive to buyers. In the end, review or update your business plan and talk to your accountant.

– Robert Louis Stevenson, Autumn Fires
"Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness and color and a time of maturity; but it is also breadth, and depth, and distance. What man can stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see the span of his world and the meaning of the rolling hills that reach to the far horizon?"
– Hal Borland

Western Travel, Cigars and Native American Images
Cigars were brought along during our first road trip through the American West. Our travel buddies were cigar smokers who, inspired by Clint Eastwood in “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” brought cigarillos along during our sojourn across the Mohave Desert. At night we camped out, and the cigars were companion accessories to the setting of cold nights out around the fire with the endless sky lit by a melee of diamond stars and surrounded by crisp, dry air delicately scented by the aroma of premium cigar smoke.
The American West has a great tradition of cigar consumption in the old saloons and on cattle drives. From the turn of the 19th century when cattle and railroad barons played poker and spun deals in St. Louis and San Francisco, to the turn of the 20th century when industrial giants like Henry Ford, J.P. Getty and Andrew Carnegie found themselves influencing the century that would see two world wars. The cigar was a companion in smoke-filled rooms and at secret poker tables. There was always a cigar-smoking gambler or two on stage coaches heading west, and after that aboard club cars on transcontinental trains from New York to Chicago to California. Cigars do indeed have a travel history in the American West.
“Cigar store Indians,” originally designed as plaques and statues representing Native americans, became the symbol of tobacco and tobacco advertising during the early 19th and 20th centuries. These statues and plaques were most often used in stores, hotels and outside restaurants and bars to signal (often illiterate customers) the availability of tobacco, or that smoking was permitted inside the establishment. The complete, life-sized figures of “American Indians” were generally used by tobacco-shop owners, with smaller plaques used in general stores.
Images of Native Americans became connected with the sale of tobacco after American Indians introduced the plant to the Europeans who explored and settled in the Americas. Cigar store Indian statues first appeared in Europe, once tobacco was available there. The wooden carvings were based on images created by artists who matched descriptions, rather than first-hand viewings of actual Native Americans. The figures, which most often ended up looking like Europeans in Native American dress, were clothed in fringed buckskins, were draped in blankets and wore feathered headdresses. They did not actually resemble the members of any particular tribe. The sculptors carved chiefs, braves, princesses and maidens, sometimes with papooses. Most of the figures grasped tobacco or cigars in their hands or displayed leaves on their clothing. There were several artists in the United States who specialized in carving ship figureheads, architectural details and portrait busts, then turned to creating figures of American Indians full-time as demand increased. Names of note in this genre of carving are John Cromwell, Thomas Brooks, the Skillin family, and Samuel Robb, who operated studios in Northeastern cities and put out product catalogues.
Modern times have called for the image of the cigar store Indian to all but disappear, but the Native American will always be remembered as the source of our fine tobacco. When the occasion calls for a fine cigar, enjoy one--especially if you’re under western skies.
