Dear Valued customer of Behrenberg Glass Co.,
Behrenberg Glass Co has been committed to giving good service, quality products, valuable customer relationships, and a long-term supplier to your company.
We have invested in equipment, machinery, and people to be able to service your glass needs. Our costs to produce glass products have continued to increase. We did not increase our prices in 2009.
To remain a viable supplier it is necessary to increase our prices on all orders placed after February 1st, 2010. There will be a 6% price increase on all of your products. Orders placed before the price increase (February 1st 2010) will be delivered at the old price until February 28th, 2010.
We thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
John P. Behrenberg
President

With the Holidays, and Christmas coming quickly I am reminded of how many people like to give gifts that they have made. Over the past few years I have talked to some customers who enjoy the art of decoupage and share it with their friends and family.
Some like to decoupage so they can: make gifts, gifts for the Holidays, to display their favorite activities, display their favorite people, to welcome new friends, to make that special gift for a wedding, to build a collection with new pieces of decoupage they have made, there are many reasons people decoupage.
I talked to a young lady of 89 years this week. She wants to start her own decoupage business. She thinks she is too old so she will decoupage gifts for her family. She will be buying some of our glass plates for her to decoupage. She may not ever make money with her decoupage.
This reminds me that the Greatest gifts I have received………..I did not pay for them. Someone else paid for the gifts with time, talent, and most of all Love.
Have a Great Holiday and Christmas Season.

With this year moving quickly along, we have been working on some new products that hopefully will be of interest for you. They are all not ready, but are coming along.
We have a few shallow bends for the decoupage people. We have created shallow bends in the following sizes: 6″ square clear glass plate, 8″ square clear glass plate, 11″ square clear glass plate, 6″ x 10″ rectangle clear glass plate, 6″ x 12″ rectangle clear glass plate. A few people have asked for shallower bends on a couple of squares and rectangles. So, we created the shallow pieces.
We also have a few new shapes of clear glass plates also. We will show their pictures when they are ready.
For the restaurant, amenity, and hospitality markets we have been creating a few new shapes. These shapes are a little deeper, and have a rim to hold them by. We also have some new colors coming out shortly for our serving tray lines. A very nice thick plate is also on it’s way.
We are also working on fused glass plates. They are very beautiful and enjoyable to make. These plates are still in the experimental state.
We are also working on a new website store. You will be able to log in and see your past orders. Hopefully this will speed up the checkout process. Some people have been having a few problems with the current store, so hopefully that will be corrected also.
Please come back in a month and hopefully you will be able to take a look at them and purchase the ones you like.

There are many times when you remember bad service from places that sell cold coffee, coffee with cream when it was to be black with sugar, tea instead of coffee. Then you come across Great Service. My family was at Leo & Sons Grille 31 in Mount Pleasant for a luncheon prior to my wife’s cousin’s babies’ baptisms. The service at Leo & Sons Grille 31 was excellent. The sandwiches were very good. The inside was decorated with pictures of people who served in the armed forces.
While I was talking to my son, I looked out the window………..there was a Monument for the people who served in the armed forces across the street. We walked over to the Monument wall and were reading the names, what branch they served in, were they killed in action, and other information. Now I understood what Great Service was about. My son asked why they went to war. I told him that his freedoms, peace, and most of what he enjoys, along with people of many nations, were because of those people who served in the armed forces.
Then family members called out for us to get moving so we wouldn’t be late going to the church. Above the wall of the names of the people who served in the armed forces I read the inscription:
Mathew 5: 9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.”
May God Bless those who serve, and their families

This May 2009 will have been our 86th year in the glass decorating, bending, and fabricating business. We will start our 87th year at the end of May. There have been many changes in our business and have been through many economic changes.
From the Roaring 20’s to the recession of 2008 many things have changed, and some have stayed the same. The relationships you build with customers, suppliers, and employees all change. New ones come and others go. The one relationship that has stayed the same is our faith in God to supply all our needs.
Our product line has changed over the years also. From the 20’s supplying the gasoline advertising globes to lighting glass. The 12” square in the bedroom, or the channel glass in bathroom, or the round pieces. The lighting could be solid white or multicolored. Giftware – serving trays – restaurant pieces. Our clear glass plates have become a huge success for the decoupage people.
Looking forward to many more years in the glass business.
Thank you,
John P. Behrenberg
