Does anyone know where to get trophy columns that have 4-H clovers? I had a customer show me their catalog with them in it from another awards company, but I don't know where I can get them.
I checked my catalogs and none had them. :S
Thanks,

I know the 4-H is very picky about their cloverleaf and image. I would not think this column is readily available from too many sources. You might want to try their website and see if there might be a licensed distributor of their logoed product.
Not much help I know....

Brain,
Good thought! I just emailed them. Thanks for the obvious, which I over looked. :P

Joe referred me to claytex for some custom columns and they turned out GREAT!

Thanks, I had not thought of that choice. I will see what choices I have.
Thanks again,

I'll weigh in on this one....
I had had some trouble with Claytex some time back, and had sworn not to use them again. After talking with Brady Ellis, I decided to give them another shot.
Brady promised the moon, and delivered.
We've ordered what we can from them, and we haven't been disappointed. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for custom columns.
I've visited their facility in Henrietta, and met the whole bunch of them....they're a top-notch group. Brady and Lucy do most of the sales-related work, and they're both fantastic to work with.

I wanted to buy from Claytex, mainly their large resin ball figures they make that are hard to find and as a backup of PDU products in case Liberty is out of something.
But it takes an act of congress to get a simple 30 day account opened there.
We have an absentee owner. Most of the time I can just fax our credit info with a signed copy from him and that is enough. But they want all kinds of personal info signatures, DL lincense, etc. that isn't going to happen. You would think a company that has been around for 54 years could get a break.
We had the same problem with Marco/Discount but since Marty knew us from Liberty he twisted some arms and got it done with less paperwork than it takes to finance a house. Started buying some italian cups and crystal from Marco and their service has been great so far.
back on topic. We still bend and roll our columns from metal sheet stock. If someone wants a special graphic or logo we can sublimate it and roll the column or we have another design that the front panel holds any metal rectangle.
