As I recall, it cost about 65 cents more to buy the one patch versus two number patches. Since our outpost number isn't changing anytime soon, I got a hundred or so (maybe 150). Now I don't have to worry about parents sewing them on wrong - 43 instead of 34.
I got them through Welsh Industries, I don't think there is great profit potential here. If I had the machinery, perhaps it would pay to do it. Maybe I'll pitch it to Springfield again, this time send a copy of the order page from the scout catalog and one of our patches. I guess if they are listening, they've been informed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Brooks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'CmdrPier'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 10:28 AM Subject: RE: Numbers > That being the case and Springfield not wanting to do it, do it yourself > and make the money yourself.
