Readers send their stories of magazine's first 75 years
SNIPS doesn't get as much reader mail as some publications. It could be because readers are too busy to stop and write. Or maybe it's because they love everything we do and have no complaints (that's the editors' favorite theory). When we asked readers to send in their memories as part of the magazine's 75th anniversary celebration, several responded. Here they are. Thanks to those who did, and please send in more. We'll do our best to run them as space permits.
Send them to SNIPS magazine, BNP Media, 2401 W. Big Beaver Road, Suite 700, Troy, MI 48084, or e-mail to [email protected]. Include your name and title, as well as your company's name and location, and a way to contact you.
Featured in article from 1970s
Here is our story.
We subscribed to SMPS in 1960. We became lifetime subscribers in 1966. We have been in business here since 1956.
During the early 70s, we mailed in a short news article that Nick Carter published We thank SNPS for that honor.
We sold, installed and service the Milwaukee-Thermoflo line of heating and air-conditioning equipment for 50 years. The equipment was purchased from the former Metzger Machine & Engineering Co. in Milwaukee. This was a supreme-quality line of residential equipment.
We thank you.

I have been a big fan of SNPS magazine for many years. It's always been a pleasure to sit down and read about the industry and what's going on or coming up. But the last few years have been especially gratifying and rewarding. Since I've been able to contribute and share my experience and lessons on pattern development with folks from shops all over the United States.
I cannot thak SNPS enough for extending this opportunity to the industry, anyone and myself who has learned from or revisited these articles on sheet metal layout. Believe me, when writing many of these articles. I too had to scratch my head and think about what I was actually trying to develop.
At the end of the day, you've made someone's job easier - thank you.
