Almost every manufacturer, distribution facility and any company that ships products use Industrial Marking Pens for some part of the shipping process. These companies use the industrial marking pens for writing shipping addresses on boxes, they use them for checking off products on a packing slip or they use an industrial marking pen for writing information on the shrink wrap that they wind around the products placed on a skid for shipping.
Almost every company uses some kind of marking pens. The most popular markers over the last 10-20 years has been the Sharpie Permanent Marker. But, as we all know, if you leave the cap off of the Sharpie Permanent Marker overnight, the marker will be dry the next day. Marking Pen manufacturers have developed alternatives to the Sharpie pens which will not dry out overnight.
We will use this blog to highlight some of the ITW Dykem Industrial Marking Pens that have cost advantages over the Sharpie Permanent Markers and some other brands as well.
Arthur Bryant’s BBQ restaurant deserves to be the first Kansas City restaurant review that we have included in this blog. Arthur Bryants Barbeque Restaurant has sat at the same location since 1930. It has a rich history. For most of the early years it was just down the street from the old Kansas City Municipal Stadium. In those years the ballpark was home to the Kansas City Athletic’s baseball team and the Kansas City Chiefs football team. When these professional ball teams played ball in the stadium, the legend of Arthur Bryant’s was born. Fans would make Arthur Bryants a stop before every game.
In 1970, Municipal Stadium was replaced with two fantastic stadiums..Arrowhead Stadium (home to the Kansas City Chiefs) and Kaufman Stadium (home to the Kansas City Royals). Eventually Municipal Stadium was torn down, but Arthur Bryant’s has survived and frankly, it has thrived. Almost every United States President and many famous actors and celebrities have been to Arthur Bryant’s over the year. Many towns can brag about their BBQ, but few Barbeque restaurants have been around as long as Arthur Bryants
Arthur Bryant’s barbeque is excellent. The beef, ribs and turkey are smoked for many hours. The meat is tender and full of the smoke flavor. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable for the size of the portions served. They are known for their french fries as well. They are homemade fries. Two people can easily split a sandwich and fries. You cannot have BBQ without the addition of the red beverage (not officially called strawberry, but seems like it to me).
Arthur Bryant’s was one of the first BBQ restaurants in Kansas City. It started an industry in Kansas City and today there are probably over 100 BBQ restaurants in Kansas City. But, while some of these other Barbeque restaurants have great barbeque, none are any better than Arthur Bryant’s and none of them have the ambiance, history and following of Arthur Bryants. Long live the King!!

It doesn’t seem like Industrial Marking Pens would be a big market. But, take a look the next time you are in a factory. Factories use them daily for all sorts of things. They use them to mark information on manufactured goods and they use them for quality control purposes. For example, you might see a manufacturer mark parts that they manufacture as the goods go down the manufacturering process. For example, they may mark the weld with a green dot to note that a quality control inspector has looked at the weld to determine its precision and strength.
The use of color marking pens has been around a long time, but the variety of manufacturing situations is as broad as the business world. Thus, industrial pen manufactuers like ITW Dykem have developed pens for almost every situation. We will use this blog to highlight many of the alternative industrial marking pen alternatives and especially place a lot of focus on the ITW Dykem Industrial Marking Pen solutions.
The following is a sample of some of the Dykem Pens.
Do you want to earn some extra money? All you have to do is video tape the process of assembling your greenhouse. Your Greenhouse can be a Rion Greenhouse or a Duramax Greenhouse.
Our future customers would really benefit from the lessons that you learned.
We will pay you $50 for your video. That’s right…$50 for the video.
The only requirements for the video to earn the $50 payment is the following:
–Keep the video clean—no foul words
–Keep the video positive…help future customers with helpful ideas or just a video of how your greenhouse got assembled. Do not use the video to complain about putting the greenhouse together.
–Put a sign up on your Duramax or Rion greenhouse (you can use very large lettering on a piece of paper (please use a magic marker for lettering) that is at least standard notebook size paper–8.5″ x 11″ paper..but bigger is better). The sign needs to include the name Supply Hero large enough that we can see it in your video. The reason for the sign is to keep other websites from copying your video and using it on their website.
–The video must include all aspects of building the greenhouse and not just a video of the final product after it is built.
Email the video to customerservice@supplyhero.com. Please include your name, address, hometown and phone number. We will only publish your first initial, last name and hometown. We will NOT publish your phone number, address or email address. We just need them in case we need to contact you and definitely to mail you a check.
We want to share your Duramax Greenhouse or Rion Greenhouse with everyone else. You would be helping future greenhouse customers understand the different looks that greenhouses can take on. Feel free to include your family, your friend, and/or your pet in the picture. We will publish the picture with or without people in it…but, we sure would like to see our happy customers.
For example, many of our customers want to know how a greenhouse would look like when it is placed on gravel, dirt, concrete, wooden ties or a backyard deck.
Customers also want to know how others landscaped the area around their greenhouse
If you have an unusual set up inside your greenhouse we hope that you will include a picture of the inside of your greenhouse, too.
I am certain that you had questions about your greenhouse purchase which you did not really understand until it arrived and was put together on your property. Please help us help future customers!
Please email your picture to customerservice@supplyhero.com. Please include your name and hometown. We will only use the first initial for your first name when we post it. We would also like to hear about your experience buying a greenhouse from Supply Hero…we will be posting those comments as well.
One of the benefits of owning your own business is deciding what products to carry. Accordingly, we are really proud to annouce that Supply Hero has decided to begin selling a line of Jelly, Jam and Preserves made by The Jam Shoppe.
This new product line may seem a bit unusual for a company like Supply Hero to sell. Well, the truth is that it is a bit unusual and at the same time a bit normal….let me explain.
While it is a bit unusual, it will seem a little more normal in the coming months. Supply Hero will be adding a lot of food products to its line up. These food products will be items that you might want to add to your kitchen or snack area at the office. Or you may want to order the food products to fill a vending machine at the office. But, the primary reason that we are carrying our new line of Jams from The Jam Shoppe is because the CEO really likes them. And the since this particular post is being written by the CEO (me), I thought that I would explain.
When I was growing up, my family loved Black Raspberry Jam or Preserves. We use to grow them in our backyard and make our own. When I grew up, I tried to find Black Raspberries…it was nearly impossible. So I looked for Black Raspberry Jam everywhere I went. It is easy to find Black Raspberry Jelly without any seeds…but, that is not the Black Raspberry Jam that I was use to. We made it with the seeds.
And then one day, I found a product from The Jam Shoppe. It was Black Raspberry Jam with the seeds (it also comes in seedless and no sugar varieties). I bought it and loved it.
I called the Jam Shoppe to find out where I could get more of it. That is when it occurred to me that Supply Hero should sell this great product.
So whether you are interested in Black Raspberry Jam with seeds (like me), Red Raspberry, Strawberry or any of the 15 varieties, I hope that you will try this product.
We have a flat shipping rate for up to 8 jars (16 ounce size) so we would encourage you to buy at least 8. If you exceed 8, then their is another flat rate for the next 8 and so on. This Jam is going to be a GREAT holiday present. We will be shipping holiday orders in a holiday gift box upon request. You can call in your jam order and request the gift box or just email us the request immediately after placing it online and we will make certain to include your order in a gift box.
In any event, we hope that you enjoy this product as much as we do. Let us know your thoughts by emailing us at customerservice@supplyhero.com with your comments about the jam and please provide us your first name, last initial and hometown…we will publish some of your comments on the website.
I thought that you might want a list of the Jams, Jelly and Preserves that we are carrying…here is the list.
Apple Butter Apricot Jam Black Raspberry Jam Seedless Black Raspberry Jam Seedless No Sugar Added Black Raspberry Jam Blackberry Jam Blueberry Jam Cherry Jam Gooseberry Jam Peach Jam Red Raspberry Jam Strawberry Jam No Sugar Added Strawberry Jam Strawberry Rhubarb Jam Jalapeño Jam
Happy Eating!
Do you want to earn some extra money? All you have to do is video tape the process of assembling your outdoor storage shed.
–Keep the video positive…help future customers with helpful ideas or just a video of how your storage shed got assembled. Do not use the video to complain about putting the shed together.
–Put a sign up on your shed (you can use very large lettering on a piece of paper (please use a magic marker for lettering) that is at least standard notebook size paper–8.5″ x 11″ paper..but bigger is better). The sign needs to include the name Supply Hero large enough that we can see it in your video. The reason for the sign is to keep other websites from copying your video and using it on their website.

Great Question!
Frankly, it is because we love food. But, just as important, we want to include all sorts of items in our blog to make it more valuable to everyone. After all, restaurant and food service products are a big part of business. We will select restaurants without any consideration as to whether they are customers.
To increase the value of the restaurant reviews, we are going to try to get a picture (when possible) of an item that Supply Hero sells in its restaurant and food service section and that the restaurant that is being reviewed uses in its operation.
We are a Kansas City based company so you can expect a lot of Kansas City based restaurants, but we will also cover restaurants that we eat at when we travel.
Most of us believe that Kansas City is the home of BBQ. Well, I know that everyone would like to challenge that, but please be assured that we will review a lot of BBQ restaurants in Kansas City.
If you have the opportunity to eat at one of the restaurants that we review, we hope that you will take the opportunity to write us with your thoughts….we will definitely publish your comments as well.
We want to share your storage shed with everyone else. You would be helping future shed customers understand the different looks that storage sheds can take on. Feel free to include your family, your friend, and/or your pet in the picture. We will publish the picture with or without people in it…but, we sure would like to see our happy customers.
For example, many of our customers want to know how a shed would look like when it is placed on gravel, dirt, concrete, wooden ties or a backyard deck. They want to know how one of our storage sheds would look under a wooden deck, under a tree, next to a garage and every other place you can imagine.
Customers also want to know how others landscaped the area around their Storage Sheds.
If you have an unusual set up inside your sheds ( a way to organize with shelves, etc.), we hope that you will include a picture of the inside of your Outdoor Storage Shed, too.
I am certain that you had questions about your shed purchase which you did not really understand until it arrived and was put together on your property. Please help us help future customers!
