Good for What Ales You
A93-year-old Pittsburgh- area woman is using the powers of the internet to keep a stock of beer while doing her part to “flatten the curve” on the coronavirus pandemic.
Olive Veronesi posed in her window with a dry erase board that read “I NEED MORE BEER!!” while holding a can of Coors Light, KDKA-TV reported.
The coronavirus can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, or death in older adults and people with existing conditions. Those groups have been advised to take extra care.
The image has been widely shared and has been seen by over a million people on the KDKA Facebook page.
The station reports that sev- eral people have reached out to help Veronesi get more beer. Way to be neighborly, Pittsburgh!
Braxton-Bragg has added the recently re-branded Stain- Proof by Dry-Treat premium line of cleaners and sealers to its offer- ings. Dry-Treat makes 13 products, half of which are stone and ma- sonry sealers and cleaners used for everything from the Sydney Opera House and Cowboys sta- dium, to a homeowner’s shower or backsplash.
Stain-Proof by Dry-Treat is not a new line, just a refresh of the same brand that has been made in North Carolina for years, and originated in Australia in 1991. No original Dry-Treat formulas have been changed.
“Dry-Treat has long been re- quested by our customers, so we are very happy to add it to our Braxton- Bragg offering,” said Jeff Dykstra, Braxton-Bragg Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “It is a re- spected brand with a long, success- ful history in the stone industry and
The Dry-Treat lineup includes environmentally-friendly products for all types of surfaces, including daily cleaners and disinfectants.
we think they are a perfect addition to our cleaner and sealer lineup.”
“ICP also produces environ- mental products that kill viruses and during this pandemic, we have been running 24 hours a day on backlog to distributors that service hospitals, government
buildings and airports, shipping out 4-5 times as usual of semi- trucks of product per day!” said Scott Higginbotham, Dry-Treat Director of Sales. “Disinfectants are going to be a part of our future. That is not going away. It is going to change the industry. Our goal through this challenge is to be an even better company coming out of this than we were going into it.”
“We offer permanent solutions for cleaning and sealing stone, and our products don’t have to be reap- plied for 15 to 25 years, as opposed to most sealers, which are up to 15 (years between applications at the max) but from most similar prod- ucts, usually must be reapplied every year,” said Higginbotham. “It is like a great permanent sun- screen that you don’t have to re- apply. More than a stone prep and maintenance company, Dry-Treat is a science company.”
Higginbotham adds, “Dry-Treat uses very different technology than other sealers, so we are big on education. We work with the Natural Stone Institute, and also with quarries, to make sure we get it right. Our Performance Warranty covers 15-25 years of repelling oil and water.”
“Dry-Treat is a great fit for Braxton-Bragg because we both have a focus on product educa- tion,” said Rick Stimac, Braxton- Bragg CEO. “Both companies have sales staff with extensive stone knowledge.”
Stain-Proof impregnators perma- nently bond to the stone, providing superior stain protection from oil and water, PLUS premium pro- tection from efflorescence, salt spalling, freeze-thaw spalling and picture framing. The penetrating sealers even stand up to commer- cial cleaning techniques e.g. high pressure hosing, and maintain the slip resistance of the surface.
Braxton-Bragg is offering several Stain-Proof by Dry-Treat products, covering all your cleaning and seal- ing needs.
Since its beginning in 1994, Braxton-Bragg’s philosophy has been to offer the best customer service and the best value for the money. This is accomplished by delivering exceptional products and first-class service to its part- ners in the stone, tile, and con- crete industries.
