"almost word for word".....Hahahahahaha! Maybe I am confused there tuff guy.....but I think I will take your advise.....Get myself a Peter Stihl autographed copy.
Dennis I know your getting alittle old but if you go back to the beginning of the thread the source was written and the book cover was shown. No one is taking words from others and making them their own. Might be a good idea for you to go get the book and spare me from setting you straight all the time and making you out to be the smart mouth you seem to be. That hot saw racing that left 99.9999999999999999999999999% of the world not knowing who you are must have affected your judgement but if ya like getting slapped around hey I'm more than happy to give you your jollies,wink! Report this one too, the mods could use another good laff!!!
...but I'm typing it almost word for word...
By "almost word for word," do you mean you're just leaving out the big ones?
Hot saws. Was that his claim to fame, no wonder nobody knows or cares who the he!! he is.
The conditions for realizing his idea are poor to begin with. Its a time of rampant inflation. In the face of all the economic problems, Andreas Stihl embarks on going into business on his own in 1923. Together with Carl Hohl, a friend, who is also an engineer, he founds a consulting firm in Augusten-strasse 111 in Stutgart on March 1,1923. The officail registered size of the business and storage rooms is 3.5x5.7 meters, not quite 20 square meters.
Intitially, the business was run on a joint account. On August 10,1923,the firm converts into a general partnership, which is registered in the Stutgart
commercail register on August 18,1923. The purpose of the company is the planning and implementation of industrial plant as well as the sale of apporpiate machines. In the articles of partnership the partners undertake to devote their whole effort to the joint company to the best of their abilities.
(keep those last four words in mind)
Great post there Brother Belgian. The book I'm using as the source was just getting to that in the next page or so. You did hit the nail on the head quick and I like it. Stihl was indeed a salesman. What good is a product if you can't sell it, apparently he thought in those terms and set out to not only produce but sell. Good post Belgian!!!
Tommie,
You going to put in the part where he used tepid beer to "grease the skids".
Joat
LOLOL, haven't seen that in the book but if its in there I'll type it.
Hey Joat whats up with that sig of yours, I see Stang has one too, yaw fussing about those saws? They're so close its a waste of breath to fuss over, they both scoot good.
Tommie,
Stang and I aren't fussin'. Least I'm not. Stang used your quote moments after you posted it. I saw your next post and thought, "Now, there's a classic, and it's so Tom". You're all about having a good, reliable, non-leaking saw that cuts and feels good. If one cuts 2% better than another, no big deal. So, I changed my sig about 8.45721 seconds after you posted it. Now, isn't that your point? They are all very close in the wood?
Oh, what did Demi get you for Christmas?
Joat
.....
Demi got what she gave me, nothing, I'm filing for divorce,LOL
Tommie,
Don't fret ole buddy. According to Virginia Common Law, you'll still be brother and sister.
Joat
Hot saws. Was that his claim to fame, no wonder nobody knows or cares who the he!! he is.
So you found out Stihl is indeed the No.1 saw in the world, no need to get all upset over it.
Hey Dude from Texas,
Maybe you should read more about someone before you spout off.
Dennis has made his mark in Hot saws years ago and is still going.
This is just one of those fun threads. I ask you to keep it that way.
