Great Ending, Now Look Forward!

Ever heard the quote, "Everything that can be invented has been invented" by Charles Duell? It is a famous quote by this US Patent Commissioner in 1900. It has sparked some criticism over the years, as to be expected. This is America, home of the greatest minds, generation leaders and inventors of all time. No way one quote would keep down all the creativity and passion the pumps through the blood of innovators and employees all over this land. Just think of all the things that have been invented since that quote in 1900. Now before I go on I must tell you, since then, this quote has been debunked and Charles has even gone on to say: 
"In my opinion, all previous advances in the various lines of invention will appear totally insignificant when compared with those which the present century will witness. I almost wish that I might live my life over again to see the wonders which are at the threshold."
   
    All the creative passion of this great country is constantly evident. You can't even go to the drug store to buy a pack of gum without noticing the newest flavor or packaging. Everyday we continuously push the envelope to make products better whether it is upgraded or completely new. Who knows where this drive comes from, but we should all be thankful that we have this drive. This constant drive help to make products more efficient, a better quality or more creative. As these products develop, it makes it easy for production to manufacture, it helps cost go down and allow the consumer to get more for their buck.  Here at AI, we are constantly finding ways to make new products no one else is doing, like the Slimbrite letter. These cutting edge letters are what you can keep expecting from the company founder. These letters are a head-turner; at trade shows these letters are always the topic of discussion. Pushing the envelope like this is what gives you, the consumer, the confidence that we will continually give you the best and freshest products. Aside of new products we strive everyday to find ways to produce products quicker and faster without sacrificing the quality we are known for outputting. This year has been no exception. Adding an automatic coil bender for our channel letter returns is just one way we help to streamline the product and make the process more efficient. We will continue to make upgrades like our paint system or even the software used to make production drawings and output files. We are always getting better, for you.  Bookmark this Blog!
