Many of you will battle the cold weather and snow this season to see us at the
Great Scale Show in Timonuim, MD, the Amherst Railway Society show in West Springfield,

NEW R. R. LOGOS:
Jelsma Graphics keeps adding to their embroidery line of clothing with new jacket
styles and new lines of logos. We have about 750 unique designs and 3 or 4 times that number
in variations of the latter such as size and name drops. Our library is growing thanks to our
customers like you that make it all possible for us to enjoy what we love the most
We have over 750 logos available, which gives us probably 500 more than anyone else has to
offer.(We didn't count their logos, so we are boasting a bit) We have over 2000 variations
of these basic logos, including train names and color variations. We truly strive to be number one
in the market place. We have also introduced new train logos, including the PRR Q2 steam locomotive,
the UP Veranda Turbine, several name train drumheads, and a host of new railroad logos. Many of these
are available in Jacket Back size to compliment out quality line of jackets and pullovers
(See logo page - CLICK HERE FOR LOGO LIST!)
Jelsma Graphics has, as in the past received another large wholesale embroidery order
in its for a major fire fighting equipment manufacturer. We are embellishing over 5000 caps for
one of the nation's largest distributors of fire fighting clothing. These caps are going to 20 different
fire departments in the northeastern states including NYC.
This is a natural for Jelsma Graphics, as our entire family is involved as professional fire fighters.
We proudly count a Division Chief, District Chief, Battalion Chief, Captain, and Engineer/Para-medic as our own.
Denny Jelsma, president of Jelsma Graphics, has served as a consultant and mentor to several large fire departments concerning fire
fighting equipment, safety and clothing. We are very proud of our long-standing association with our
American Heroes.
Working with the fire departments is a natural in another way, as many of the firemen
are also rail fans!
WHOLESALE PRICING:
Jelsma Graphics is considering another adjustment in its wholesale price to the dealer network,
so the dealer network can pass on significant discounts and increase sales to their customers.
It is a win win situation to the dealer AND the customer. There is a reason
why Jelsma Graphics is America's Number 1 Railroad embroiderer.
