Linda Gabel retires from Post Office after 33 years By Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com For the past 33-½ years, Linda Gabel has worked diligently behind the scenes in the Wabash Post Office sorting the community’s mail. On Jan. 31, Linda will retire from the job she’s come to love and start a new phase of life – retirement. Over the years, Linda has watched the mailroom change. When she first started, there were five regular clerks, who worked five days a week, and four subs. Now, there are two regulars and two part-time flexible workers. “Now, everything is automated, and it doesn’t require all the personnel,” Linda told The Paper of Wabash. The mail used to come in sacks and it was laid on flats to be sorted. Linda and her coworker would race to beat the letter carriers. Linda arrives at work at 6 a.m. and starts sorting letters and flats, which are newspapers, magazines, or any mail 8 ½ by 11 inches or bigger. Linda sorts the mail for routes, then moves on to P.O. box mail and forwarding mail. Linda also orders supplies, and if needed, works at the window. “(I enjoy) sorting the mail. It goes fast. I’ve just always liked to do it,” Linda said about her favorite part of the job. “You have to know a scheme, and I’ve known a scheme forever,” she said. Linda enjoys sorting the mail

because it keeps her busy, unlike working at the counter. “I like the customers, but as far as standing up there, it’s better when it’s busy, but when there’s nothing going on I have to bring my stool over there,” said Linda. “Working in the back, there is always something to do, and at the window it can get boring.” Linda believes she is ready to retire and is following the advice of her father who once said, “Don’t retire until you have plans or chores or something to do for nine months. If you’re busy for that first nine months then you’re home free, and you can enjoy being retired without any problems.” Linda, who likes to stay busy, isn’t worried about getting bored with retirement. “I think I have enough chores to survive a whole year,” she said. “There’s always something to do, and if all else fails you can volunteer.” Linda is ready to begin chores at home, but it is her age, number of years working and the incentive pay to retire that ultimately helped her make the decision to leave at the end on January instead of in the spring. Linda, who has lived in Wabash all but three years of her life, and her husband Bill, who is also retired, plan to move from Hill Street to Pike Street in the spring, and Linda wants to get the new house ready. She is (continued on page 21)

EDG ends another banner year

Bill Konyha The Wabash economy got another energy boost from the makers of the 5-Hour Energy Drink. Living Essentials, maker of the world’s best-selling energy drink, announced plans

earlier this year to increase its presence in Wabash by building a 520,000-square foot facility in the new Wabash Northeast Business Complex (WNBC). The capital investment of $25.5 million for the new manufacturing plant brought the total capital investment for 2012 in Wabash County to $32,215,217, according to Bill Konyha, president and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County. That’s an increase of almost $3 million over 2011. Add to that nearly $25 million of construction projects completed or nearly completed in 2012, Konyha noted, and you have more than $57 million in economic development. Those projects include Mainstreet’s residential rehabilitation and long-term care facility at the southeast corner of U.S. 24 and Alber Street, scheduled to open

in 2013; a new water storage tank constructed by Indiana American Water Co. at the WNBC; the first two buildings in the Advanced Ag Resources Inc. campus at the WNBC; and work on the infrastructure at the WNBC. Other projects in 2012 include an expansion at Harvey Industries, $3,114,917; an expansion at Hipsher Tool & Die, $196,700; an expansion at Shepherd’s Chevrolet in North Manchester, $800,000; a new business in Wabash, NuStart LLC, a family medical facility at 797 S. Wabash St., $148,600; an Economic Development Administration (U.S. Department of Commerce) Grant of $1.8 million for the new business park; a $100,000 OCRA grant for public arts; a $375,000 Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) grant for Living

Essentials, and $80,000 for a new 4G communication tower. The 10 projects handled this past year will result in a net gain of 228 jobs (compared to 167 in 2011) and $221,449 ($166,686) in local income taxes, Konyha reported. The average wage for those 228 jobs is $32,985 ($34,417) or $16.49 ($17.21) per hour. “The average wage in Wabash County in 2011 was $30,731, or $15.36 per hour based on a 40-hour week, 50 weeks per year, so the net new jobs created this year pays wages well above the 2011 average,” Konyha, now in his seventh year as head of the county’s economic development efforts, said. The new businesses/expansions will raise the county’s annual payroll by $7,520,550, compared to $5,747,800 in 2011. “In the past three years, EDG has assisted more than $132

million of projects that resulted in the private sector creating 867 jobs,” Konyha said. “This new payroll of more than $26 million generates more than $757,000 in new local income taxes, benefitting every person in Wabash County.” When the first phase of the Living Essentials expansion is completed in July of 2013, the company will have 1,350,000 square feet under roof in Wabash. The Michigan company, which began its operations here in 2007 at the old Markhon building on Bond Street, now employs more than 400 workers and could increase that by 200 with the completion of the second phase of the WNBC project, another 500,000-square-foot addition. The 4G tower for Verizon customers is a critical piece of the county’s 21st Century informa(continued on page 21)

2 Indiana Farm Bureau president 4-H Rabbit club to meet Feb. 4 issues statement regarding the fiscal package and farm bill extension www.thepaperofwabash.com

“Indiana Farm Bureau appreciates the recent efforts of the U.S. Congress whose last-minute deliberations yielded a legislative package that seems to have averted the so-called fiscal cliff. A number of tax provisions were handled in the agreement, but the spending side of the equation will need more attention in the coming months. The automatic budget cuts that were set to begin yesterday will now take place at the end of February,” IFB President Don Villwock said. “Part of the legislative package signed into law by President Obama is a ninemonth extension of portions of the 2008 farm bill. During the past year the House and Senate ag com-

mittees, with input from farmers, crafted their versions of a five-year farm bill, both of which contained significant policy reforms and billions of dollars in savings over the next 10 years. Indiana Farm Bureau is disappointed that neither of these versions became law. Hoosier farmers are now left with what is at best a stop-gap measure. “While we are grateful that lawmakers compromised on the onerous estate tax issue by keeping the $5 million exemption level and only raising the rate by 5 percent (from 35 to 40), we encourage members of the 113th Congress to seriously address the spending side of the fiscal equation. We also call on them to begin work imme-

diately on a five-year farm bill that gives some degree of fiscal

and policy certainty to Indiana’s agricultural community.”

Indiana Landmarks announces award nomination deadline Indiana Landmarks seeks nominations for the annual Cook Cup for Outstanding Restoration, a prize that recognizes an owner who has transformed a significant historic structure. In selecting the winner, the Cook Cup judges consider the

importance of the landmark and its prerestoration condition, the quality of the restoration, and the impact of the restored building on its community. The restored structure may retain its original use or be adapted to a new purpose.

The winner may be an individual, corporation or partnership, nonprofit organization, or government entity. In 2012, the Cook Cup went to the City of Elkhart for its restoration of The Lerner, a historic downtown theater. Indiana Landmarks

inaugurated The Cook Cup for O u t s t a n d i n g Restoration in 2007 when the prize went to the award’s namesake family in honor of their transformation of the West Baden and French Lick Springs hotels in southern Indiana.

State posts record-breaking economic development year

INDIANAPOLIS The Indiana E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation (IEDC) announced today that in 2012 it secured job commitments from 256 companies from across the country and around the world that project to create more than 27,600 new jobs, an increase from 19,080 in 2011 and more than any other year on record. “A better state economy starts with a positive business climate, and Indiana’s is now near the top of every list,” said Governor Mitch Daniels. “But great credit goes to the job-hunters of the IEDC, and to our progrowth partners in the General Assembly who helped us build that environment and build America’s best economic development agency.” Driven by companies like Amazon, Toyota, Magnetation, Angie’s List, Sugar Creek Packing, Supreme Industries and Sweetwater Sound, Indiana welcomed commitments for 27,620 new jobs and $6.41 billion in capital investment in 2012. The new positions, which companies anticipate to hire over the next five years, pay an expected average hourly wage of $21.77, above the state’s current hourly wage of $19.74. The average amount of state conditional tax incentives offered to companies on a per job basis was $8,689, down from around $37,000 in previous administrations. Under the IEDC, state incentives are activated only when new jobs actually occur. Automotive-related manufacturing represented the largest sector for new job commitments in 2012 with 7,180 new jobs projected. With 5,606 job commitments, the business services industry represented the second largest sector of new growth followed by the non-automotive manufacturing sector with 5,602 projected

new jobs. Job commitments for other sectors include: logistics (2,388), food production (2,022), life sciences (1,606) and information technology (1,589). “From its falling corporate tax rate and recently enacted right-to-work legislation to its overall fiscal stability, these results are proof that companies find Indiana one of the most attractive places to create jobs,” said Dan Hasler, Secretary of Commerce and chief executive officer of the IEDC. Since Daniels established the IEDC in early 2005, the agency has worked with 1,474 companies to locate or expand their operations in the state. The agency secured job commitments totaling 19,080 in 2011, 23,152 in 2010, 19,955 in 2009,18,627 in 2008, 22,627 in 2007, 21,995 in 2006 and 15,523 in 2005. Collectively, these companies have committed to create more than 168,500 projected new jobs and invest more than $34.23 billion in their Indiana operations. The IEDC continues to conduct and publish an annual performance review of

all companies, in cooperation with international auditing firm, Crowe Horwath, LLC. These companies indicated that, by the end of 2011, they had planned to add 63,063 new jobs. During the review, the companies collectively reported adding 48,120 new jobs through 2011, which equates to 76 percent of their scheduled projections. The IEDC will formally present these results again at its next public quarterly board meeting. For historical performance data, continue to visit the IEDC’s website. Indiana continues to garner national

accolades for its competitive business climate. In 2012, both Chief Executive magazine and Pollina Corporate rated the Hoosier State best in the Midwest for business and fifth best in the country. Indiana ranks fifth best nationally for business friendliness and seventh for cost of living by CNBC. Area Development magazine also ranked the state eighth in the nation for its business climate and Indiana is one of only nine states to have triple-A credit ratings from all three reporting agencies: Standard & Poor’s, Fitch and Moody’s.

In addition to Election Day voting, and early voting in the County Clerk’s office during the month prior to election, the Committee is proposing satellite voting locations in North Manchester

After the thirty days the County Election Board will schedule a meeting, at which time the Study Committee will make a recommendation to

the Board, and the County Election Board will vote on this issue. Pursuant to Indiana statute the vote by the Wabash County Election Board must be unanimous by all three members, in order for Wabash County to switch to vote center based elections, rather than precinct-based elections.

In honor of the Christmas holiday they were going to eat foods that were red and green and unscramble the menu before dinner. Club President Helen Dawes welcomed everyone and read the thought of the month “Let us stop, look, and listen this Christmas and hear the singing of the angels so long ago. A song of hope, peace, and good will.” After lunch Anna Lee Biehl led in singing three Christmas carol and updated the group on her son, Jay’s medical condition.

year in college, he was hospitalized for two weeks with ulcerative colitis. After being put on medication, Jay had no more serious bouts with colitis, but his liver function values were pretty elevated. After ruling out possible liver diseases such as hepatitis and cancer, Jay’s doctor strongly suspected PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis), a slowlyprogressing disease of the bile ducts. PSC is an autoimmune disease in which the liver’s bile ducts become scarred and constricted, interfering with the liver’s ability to drain its bile. And when the bile can’t drain out of the liver, its toxicity eventually kills off liver cells. Unfortunately, when it builds up, it begins seeping into surrounding blood and tissue causing a constant itching that can’t be alleviated with any kind of medication. More worrisome, though, is the elevated risk of bile duct or liver cancer due to the constant presence of the bile. Jay came through the surgery very well. His wife says he keeps commenting that “just touching his skin (without it itching, without all the scratching) was amazing. It’s as if he is rediscovering his own skin...as his “friend” not as the “enemy,”

as something comforting not something irritating. It was pretty amazing to watch and hear him.” Jay will have good days and bad days during his recovery and still needs your prayers. Cards can be sent to him at 1719 Falling Brook Drive, Fishers, IN, 46038. You can also follow his recovery by visiting his Caring Bridge site at www.caringbridge.org/visit/jaybieh.

Wood suggests therapy with art Dear editor, Most all therapists, along with others in the medical field, recognize the fact that many people deal with depression during the holidays and the winter days with loneliness. It’s difficult for everyone to admit they may have depression and not just a few blue days in

our lives. There are several reasons to be overcome with sadness that brings on periods of mild depression. For some of our elderly, holidays may be a time of sadness because of not having family to share the season’s joy. Perhaps it’s the recent loss of a loved one, or an

accident that caused serious injury. Just the letdown of the busy holidays can bring on feelings of sadness. Even the darker days of winter make us sad. Most therapists believe that not all people need medical treatment to overcome periods of depression. They suggest getting out and being with people, begin a hobby, take a class and learn something new, as a way of overcoming those periods of depression. Therapists often use art to help their clients. Children are most often helped by using art to help tell their story of sadness. Adults fail to understand how this might help themselves to relieve anxiety and loneliness. Art classes are high on the list of many therapists for self-

help activities. You lose all track of time, become so absorbed in creating that you fail to realize you are in a group with others. The group; however, gives each other support and helps each other. It isn’t about how well you create something, it’s the time involved learning and achieving that gives a feeling of satisfaction that you created something with your hands. A child can play with crayons,

clay and other supplies and enjoy themselves for hours, not caring how well they do, but just having fun. While adults should be able to do this, many find it hard to overcome those initial feelings of not having the ability to do it successfully in the beginning. Adults can also work on a project for hours and wonder ‘where did time go.’ You forget everything as you become so absorbed in creating.

While a therapist may help you, you might find an art class to be far less expensive. If you are dealing with feelings that may lead to depression, find a store offering art classes. Learn to create and you will be amazed at the hours of enjoyment you’ll have. The feelings of creating something only you can do are amazement beyond belief. Don’t allow the feeling of being afraid of trying keep you

from learning how art can help. Locally Woods Framing and Art is offering several painting classes in January with free sessions and some supplies included. If you feel classes may help you and you cannot afford them, Woods will work with you. Call Jo Wood at 5631915 for a private consultation as classes are limited as to how many will be accepted.

Grab the milk… it’s Girl Scout Cookie time

Girl Scouts of Northern IndianaMichiana are ready to provide the community with its favorite treat as they learn valuable life lessons. This year, as they celebrate their Year of the Girl – 100th Anniversary, Girl Scout cookies will be on sale beginning Friday, Jan. 11, continuing through March 12.

Customers can help girls build business skills and gain financial knowledge as they sell these Girl Scout Cookie varieties: Thin Mints, Shortbread, Peanut Butter Patties®, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Caramel deLites®, Thanks-ALot™, Lemonades™ and our new Mango Cremes! Mango Cremes combine a

crispy cookie with the taste of mango. No trans fats, hydrogenated oils, or preservatives—just pure island delight. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the country and helps girls build important life and leadership skills. Through cookie program activities, girls learn how to plan,

build teams, speak up, make decisions, solve problems and manage resources. These skills help girls learn to be leaders – ultimately in their own lives and in our communities. Girls are the main beneficiaries of all Girl Scout cookie activities, directly and indirectly. While learning valuable life skills and earning money for their troops, the girls decide how to spend that money to achieve their troop projects and goals.

Edwin Ford and the Ford Meter Box Program Edwin Ford and the Ford Meter Box Company will be the subject of the meeting of the Wabash County Historical Society on Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. at the Wabash County Historical Museum. Charles Chapman, Ford Meter Box Advertising Manager, will be the presenter. Edwin Ford was the youngest child of Dr. James Ford and inherited his father’s gift for invention. While serving as water

superintendent in Hartford City, he invented the first meter box to keep the meters from freezing in the winter so they could be located outside the home. His workshop was the basement of his home. Fortunate for Wabash, Ford moved the company here in 1911. The program is free and open to the public. Please note that this meeting is on Jan. 15, the third Tuesday of the month.

Southwood routs Apaches in TRC action Squires pick up first TRC win, Northfield falls to Tippecanoe Valley

Despite a Herculean effort from Apache senior Breyton Nealis, Southwood moved to 2-0 on the Three Rivers Conference with a 70-49 home win over Wabash Friday. Meanwhile, Manchester’s boys basketball team moved to 2-7 on the season and 1-1 in TRC play after besting North Miami Friday, 56-42. Also Friday, Northfield’s boys basketball team fell to 1-1 in the TRC and 6-5 overall after falling at Tippecanoe Valley Friday, 63-43. Here’s what happened: Southwood 70, Wabash 49 Southwood juniors Jackson Blair and Corey Phillipy scored 19 and 18 points, respectively, to lead the Knights to their fifth-straight win, a 70-49 win Friday over Wabash. Wabash played Southwood close after the first quarter, trailing just 16-14. The Knights, however, forced Wabash into seven secondquarter turnovers, outscoring the Apaches 22-8 in that span. Blair added five rebounds and three steals to his 19 points, while Phillipy had six rebounds. Levi Sutton had 12 points, two steals and three assists. Nealis added nine points, an assist and a steal to his game-high 30 points. Tyler Brewer scored six and Cody King added five points. Manchester 56, North Miami 42 Freshman guard Chase Fierstos erupted for 27 points Friday night in a hostile environment, nailing five triples at North Miami during a 56-42 Squire victory. He scored 11 points in the first as Manchester outscored the Warriors 19-1 in the quarter. North Miami could not dig out of the 18point hole. Clayton Petrie followed Fierstos with 19 points and Claudel Dickantone added eight. Tippecanoe Valley 63, Northfield 43 The Vikings outscored Northfield 44-25 through the first three quarters en route to a 63-43 home victory over the Norse Friday evening.

Knight girls grab top spot in TRC Flack leads Manchester to win, Northfield routes Valley The league portion of the schedule continued Thursday and Saturday for the Three Rivers Conference girls teams. After besting Wabash 43-34 in Coolman Gymnasium Saturday, Southwood sits atop the TRC standings with a 4-0 league record, dropping the Apaches to 3-1. Northfield picked up a convincing 54-32 home win over Tippecanoe Valley Thursday, improving to 2-2 in the TRC. Manchester’s conference record also moved to 2-2 after the Squires won 62-56 at home over North Miami. Here’s what happened: Southwood 43, Wabash 34 In a battle of ranked TRC opponents, 2A’s No. 17 Southwood (9-3) upset No. 15 Wabash (8-6) 43-34 Saturday in Coolman Gymnasium. Southwood took a 16-14 lead into halftime and the Apaches didn’t take a lead until shortly into the third quarter. Claire Cromer’s triple put Wabash up 17-16 and a back-and-forth battle ensued, but Southwood escaped the quarter up 29-26 and never surrendered the lead. Southwood senior Sarah White led all scorers with 15 points to go with three rebounds, four assists and a steal. Anna Marie Farlow added nine points, 10 rebounds, two steals and a block. Kaley Harness chipped in six points, four rebounds, five assists and two steals. Claire Cromer paced the

Apaches with 10 points, four rebounds, an assist and three steals. Charlie Pardo scored six points with three boards and an assist. Lyndsie Thomas had six points and six rebounds. Northfield 54, Tippecanoe Valley 32 Katie Stephan’s career high 16 points led a balanced Norse scoring attack during a 54-32 route over Tippecanoe Valley Thursday evening. Stephan shot 6-of-10 from the floor, including 2-for-2 from beyond the 3-point arc. She also gathered in five rebounds, three assists and two steals. The point guard also turned the ball over just once. Senior Sydney Eltzroth followed with 14 points, seven rebounds, an assist and six steals. Sidney Reed added 11 points, five rebounds, four assists, a steal and two blocked shots. Kylie Echard had nine points, eight rebounds, an assist, two steals and four blocks. The Norse moved to 10-3 on the season and are currently tied with Wabash in the Indiana Coaches of Girls Sports Association 2A poll at No. 15. Two of Northfield’s losses came in TRC play, to Wabash and Southwood, but the Norse avenged those by defeating the Knights and Apaches in back-to-back days in the Wabash County Tournament. Manchester 62, North Miami 56 Manchester senior Kayla Flack exploded for a season-high 31 points Saturday as the Squires edged North Miami 62-56. Flack’s 31 points came on an efficient shooting night. She shot

60 percent (15-for-25) from the field, including 5-for-9 from 3point range. She also had eight rebounds, six assists and three steals. Following Flack were Bekah Brunn, Autumn Brewer and Tabby DeWitt, who each scored nine points. Brunn added six rebounds and a steal, Brewer had 13 rebounds, an assist, a block and a pair of steals, and DeWitt added six rebounds and an assist.

continued from front page tion infrastructure, Konyha said. It is being built on a utility easement in the Wabash Industrial Park. “The land is unbuildable otherwise,” Konyha added. “The tower will benefit the entire county when completed.” Construction of the tower was approved by the Wabash Board of Zoning Appeals Dec. 20 and the building permit was granted the next day. EDG officials processed a total of 82 leads in 2012, 69 dealing with businesses contemplating expansion into new communities and the balance

Wabash Hoosier Salon hosts Indiana Landscapes Exhibit Wabash Hoosier Salon opens 2013 with a new Indiana Landscapes Exhibit featuring oils and watercolors by the local artists and members of Hoosier Salon: Joanne, Breen, Sarah Luginbill, Linda Shoults, and Jerry Smith. The exhibit will remain at the gallery until Feb. 10. The grand opening reception will take place on Friday, Jan. 4, from 5 - 8 p.m. Light refreshments catered by the Charley Creek Inn will be served through the evening. The event will be enriched by the selections from the American Songbook sing by an operatic soprano, Shelley Ploss. She is a native of Peru and an adjunct professor of voice at Manchester University. The event is free of charge and open to the public. All art pieces will be available for purchase at the event and throughout the month of January. For more information about the event, membership, volunteering and sponsorship opportunities contact Sana Szewczyk, Gallery Manager, at 260-5630454, or email at wabashgallery@hoosi ersalon.com. The gallery is located at 111 W. Market Street in Wabash.

either existing businesses or new startups. Twenty-seven of those leads dealt with Greenfield sites and the remaining 55 were looking for an existing building. Forty-one of those leads were tied to manufacturing, two to distribution, 15 to food or value- added agricultural processing and 24 classified as other. Konyha said 18 of the leads are still active, 53 have been eliminated and 10 were completed. Forty of the leads came from the Indiana Economic D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation, 20 came from EDG staff members and 17 came from Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership. “Of the leads, 67

percent were targeted at existing buildings,” Konyha said. “We have very few buildings in Wabash County that are not either functionally or economically obsolete. The ceiling heights are not nearly high enough, many have wood roof truss and do not meet the insurance requirements currently in effect. Therefore our Greenfield sites often have to compete with vacant buildings.” EDG assisted manufacturing, machinery, automotive, health care and communications industries to create economic and employment opportunities this past year. And it also attracted $2,375,000 in grants

an avid gardener and wants to move flowers from her current house to the new house. Linda also volunteers with the Presbyterian Church she attends. Linda and Bill are looking forward to their 50th wedding anniversary in July. Instead of a party, the couple plans to take a long road trip visiting their children and

grandchildren on the west coast. They will go up to Washington State to visit one of their sons and then down to California where their daughter lives. During the trip they will stop through the Redwood Forest, Yellowstone National Park and other sights. Once retired, Linda plans to stay busy and work on chores, starting with housework.

during 2012. “These grants directly support Wabash County people and businesses,” Konyha said, “and nearly $500,000 is tied directly to training activities that add value to Wabash County people. The Public Arts Grant was an initiative of Wabash Marketplace, Inc. and Manchester

Mainstreet and was supported by EDG.” In November, Dan Hasler, secretary of commerce and executive officer of the IEDC, reported the IEDC had already worked with 220 companies that had made decisions to expand or establish a new business in Indiana, one more than the 219 the office processed in all of 2011. “Indiana is on a hot streak and we have no plans to slow down,” Hasler said. Wabash County isn’t slowing down either.

Linda says she will probably get up at her usual time due to

habit, but is looking forward no longer setting the alarm.

READER ADVISORY: The national trade association we belong to has purchased the below classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer “employment” but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstances should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.

EdenPURE reopens Ohio factory creates 250 new jobs ®

New models shipped direct from warehouse at 49% savings Richard Karn, North Canton, Ohio

I was fortunate enough to attend the grand opening of the new EdenPURE® factory in North Canton, Ohio. The new plant brought hundreds of new jobs back to Ohio and reversed the common practice of sending Midwest manufacturing jobs to China. Now, EdenPURE® continues to ramp up production for the coming Winter with exciting new models and hundreds of new employees as this Made in America success story continues to grow. American Labor, American Quality With over 3 million portable heaters sold EdenPURE ® is the best selling portable infrared heating system in North America. However, like any classic, EdenPURE ® has dozens of would-be competitors who create Asian copies at low prices using cheap, foreign labor. Don’t be fooled by these imitations. Look for the EdenPURE® logo and the Made in North Canton, Ohio stamp. Save like millions of others on your heating bills and say “NO” to cheap foreign imitators.

Never be cold again

How it works:

CUTAWAY VIEW

Heats floor to the same temperature as ceiling.

3. The soft heat “rides” the humidity in the room and provides even, moist, soft heat ceiling to floor and wall to wall without reducing oxygen and humidity.

1. Electricity ignites powerful SYLVANIA infrared lamp. 2. The quartz infrared lamp gently warms the patented copper heating chambers.

PERSONAL

MODEL 750

As Al Borland on Home Improvement I was the man with all the answers. However, as Richard Karn I still look for money saving and efficient heating in my home. I have an EdenPURE® Infrared Portable Heater in my California home and like millions of others found it to be a super-safe, reliable source of portable heat all year long. and save even bigger. New, More Efficient Models The engineers at EdenPURE® listened to their millions of customers and somehow managed to improve the #1 portable heater in North America. Through old fashioned American ingenuity the new EdenPURE® line is more efficient to save you even more money. The EdenPURE ® Personal Heater now heats a larger area, an increase from 350 square feet to 500 square feet. That’s a 30% increase in efficiency! And EdenPURE® is proud to introduce the 2013 Model 750. The new Model 750 is perfect for larger areas and heats up to 750 square feet. But the best thing about the Model 750 is the price. We priced the Model 750 at only $50 above the Personal Heater. This means you receive a 33% increase in performance for only $50. That’s American engineering at its best! The EdenPURE® can cut your heating bills and pay for itself in a matter of weeks, and then start

putting a great deal of extra money in your pocket after that. Super Safe Infrared Heat Now remember, a major cause of residential fires in the United States is carelessness and faulty portable heaters. The choice of fire and safety professional, Captain Mike Hornby, the EdenPURE® has no exposed heating elements that can cause a fire. And a redundant home protection system that simply shuts the EdenPURE® down if it senses danger. That’s why grandparents and parents love the EdenPURE®. The outside of the EdenPURE® only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets. And your pet may be just like my dog who has reserved a favorite spot near the EdenPURE ®. You see the EdenPURE® uses infrared heat. And just as pets enjoy basking in a beam of sunlight they try to stay close to EdenPURE ® ’s “bone-warming” infrared heat. The Health Secret is in the Copper

EdenFLOW™ technology uses copper heating chambers to take the energy provided by our special SYLVANIA infrared bulbs and distribute our famous soft heat evenly throughout the room. Now our copper isn’t ordinary. It’s 99.9% pure antimicrobial copper from an over 150 year old American owned company in Pennsylvania. So your EdenPURE ® heater is continuously pushing soft, healthy, infrared heat throughout your room.
