I said it's fine if you want to have a paper copy, especially for intensive study on the loo, but in our company we used to receive kilograms (put your favourite weight unit in here) of paper catalogues every day. And all were unwanted and were thrown away.


P.S. our original squirrels were the red ones, which are now more and more outnumbered by the grey ones from northern america...

How exactly did squirrels get from the States to Germany? And it would have to be in significant numbers to sustain a breeding population....

Since most of the trees in this area are Ash, It's been quite a slaughter. COVID, The various pig and Chicken flus of the past, The Chestnut blight, whatever else, What's next?

Terry diseases don't have a nationality. The world doesn't blame the States for being the source of the 1918 Flu epidemic. I guess the question needs to be asked is what border actions are being taken (or not taken) to stop diseases entering our countries.

I know that they have been introduced in England into the parklands, people thought it was a good idea.

...and i respect that decision by the 'owners' of this site. I just like to play devils advocate and show people the other side of the argument. Am i a 'Klugscheisser', a clever-shit? Heck, yeah...

Use of trees for pulp is not the problem. Loblolly pines are strategically and systematically raised and harvested for pulp wood. They are “long term” crops; 20 year green beans! Yes hardwoods are a bit different scenario.
The problem comes with discard of finished product. Landfills are over worked, over used.
RECYCLE!

I got a story kinda related. Supposedly, Hermann Goering started importing and breeding raccoons, to have something more to shoot at. They were not native to Germany. During the war, an Allied bomb broke open the cages and the little things scattered to freedom. They became dominant and a big nuisance in Eastern Germany, never having been part of the ecosystem there.

I do alot of business with Snyders and my catalog came 3 days ago. One advantage on a "hands-on catalog", at least for me, is that you can browse through it and find items that you didn't know were made or available, and then possibly purchasing them. I don't browse internet catalogs but simply go to the specific item desired. I hope that the catalogs keep coming in the future.

Just got mine the other day, I do love free catalogs!

Not to get too far off topic but we have a LOT of wild parrots around here. They certainly are not indigenous to Southern California. They say it is from people bringing in parrots from other countries and they escape from their cage.

We also have wild peacocks that are originally not from California.

So I can see how squirels get to Germany.

I prefer paper catalogs, I use it to find what I need, then order on line

I also prefer paper catalogs. I find if I go front to rear when putting together an order
I don't forget anything. Its too easy to miss items using the online catalog.
I make a list, then buy on line.
Plus I like to see what new items have been added. (or deleted)
THANK YOU SNYDER'S....

LOL, ... I guess it helps to scroll down the page. Boy do I feel stupid!




dont bother feeling that way- I feel that way daily when I look at what my mind used to do............
Im a computer in regression. 180 compaq anyone?


I too recd one of the catalogs this past week and was quite happy to get it.
Snyders has been very very good to me.

[Oldbluoval]

Snyder’s has been good to everyone in this hobby….whether you know it or not.
Many/most of the parts all major vendors carry originate from Snyder’s

[Ruth]

I use the paper catalog to find things I amin need of, then order online. Sometimes it is difficult finding items in the online catalog using the search engine if you don't know the exact name of the item.

With the coming TP shortages perhaps a catalog or two might come in handy. It worked for granddad.

[Perry]

I learned most of what I know about my A from studying parts catalogs. Different hints, drawings from each vendor. Catalog will show hardware, gaskets, springs, etc . pictures of original parts and modern if available. Information that is useful
