My new display cases

A carpenter named Eric Hale made me these very nice displays. They hold 15 tins and 5 two ounce bottles. Now I need to find homes for 5 cases.

Cutter Joe the father

The man in the center of this saw blade is Joseph Charles Sanquenetti. Joe is my step father and has been a father to me since the sixth or seventh grade. When he became a husband to my mother and a step father to me at a young age I really did not care for him. I felt I really did not need him, I already had a father I really loved. I always felt Joe was a little hard on me, always telling me to "quit being a panty waist," "if your going to do something do it right," " tie your shoe laces."  Many times I did not understand why he would stay with my mother because I was a mouthy kid that would push him to the limit. I tried to push him away but he would not leave and worst of all my mother would back him up when it was time to punish me. By the time I turned thirteen or so, Joe and mom had had a baby on the way, his name would be Joey Sanquenetti the lV. I already had one full blooded sister and two step sister's and now a half brother on the way. Even though we were already family, this was the prince that would bond our families together as blood in my book. The reason I am explaining this to you is because the man in this image, Cutter Joe (Joseph Sanquenetti) was the owner of Wabash Valley Tree Service. Joseph would get in the bucket truck and carefully take down a three story tree down to the ground limb by limb. He worked just as hard as his employees. Now, my brother Joey runs Wabash Valley Tree Service. Going back to my younger years Joeseph taught me the meaning of working hard and what being a man meant. Today, Joseph Sanquenetti is in Union Hospital in ICU hanging on tight with the terrible disease called cancer. It hurts to see someone you love try to fight this disease when it's out of control. Between the cancer and the wicked side effects of narcotics, I can not stop praying for comfort on him and everyone that loves him. It would not matter if it was my blood father, mother, brothers or sisters, I would feel the same. Joe is a great man to friends and family and I am very proud of him for being so strong and accomplishing many obstacles in the past six months. I hope I am half the man he is. Joseph Charles Sanquenetti the III will always be the image on Cutter Joe's Beard Oil.

Ps. The image of him in this portrait was him holding my first born son the fist week he was born 2008. I said, "smile at the camera Joe"and this is him doing just that.

Stocking the shelves.

I am filling up my display cases... I have more cans to put labels on. I had a man walk in my shop the other day and said, "I got a beard trim on Wabash, they cut my beard very fast and very uneven." Then he said, "I went into Walgreens looking for something to make by beard look better, the cashier said check out this place on Davis called Look Good Feel Good barbershop, they carry a very good quality beard balm." Long story short, I fixed his beard on the house and then he bought Lumber Jack scent beard balm.

Cutter Joe's Beard Balm display

These are pics of one of my display cases with all the signage on them. The only thing I am waiting on are 2,000 lables being printed for my 2oz beard balm tins. I even purchased barcodes and I printed them on my bottom lables. Everything is in place for me to approach Mr. Bob Beasler. I will talk with you later.

Beard balm being wholesaled to Beaslers Supermarket.

I started out by approaching Beaslers Supermarked in Terre Haute, Indiana to see if my beard balm that I create and package would be a product that they would like to retail out of this Terre Haute grocery store? Beaslers is not a grocery store that all people go and buy groceries they need for two weeks. Beaslers is a grocery store that you shop at to purchased the best of the best, the cream of the crop, if you can not find it on his shelf he will get it for you. Walmart can not compare with this establishment on this level. I remember this business when it was at the corner of 25 & College in Terre Haute, IN. This little store might of had five aisles in this little building. Even though it was tiny, customer service was huge and groceries were superb. On the same subject let me tell you what else I have accomplished. I approached a truck stop a little over a month ago about selling my balm, the truckstop said "yes we will sale it" and then later said "no we will not sale it." The reason I am telling you this is the more I thought about this the more I would rather sell my balm out of specialty stores like Beaslers. We have put our creativity and heart into this balm, the quality is very good. We are local and the product is natural. These are the retail spots that Cutter Joe's Beard Balm needs to be sold at.
