FCC LICENSE SCAM OR IS THIS REAL?
 
We get a lot of questions about this type of mail. The real answer... The FCC License database is open to the public. Companies can "mine" the data and find your name and what you have to market to you. They make good money by getting the unsuspecting consumer who isn't sure to send in a check sometimes many years before a check is actually due! To be sure, ask one of us to check the database for you so you know before you complete the form and send the money! Click here for an example.

STOCK UP ON HOSE BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS
Stock up before the end of March and take 10% off your normal price for hose!  Underhill® and Kochek® hoses are included in this special. Ask and we can delay the shipping of the hose until you (and your budget) are ready!  Click here for Underhill part numbers and descriptions.  Click here for a link to Kochek's website.
