Erectile Dysfunction (ED) effects about 30 million men in the USA. The causes are varied and
range from psychological reasons to health conditions. But serious as it is. some men still
compound the problem by not taking steps to deal with it. The result - often a complete breakdown
in their most intimate relationship.
“ My diagnosis of cancer came as a shock to myself and
my wife - little did we know that it w ould also end our
intimate experiences... that was until we found the
Vacurect' vacuum therapy system. So simple and easy
to use... after several month of use I began to regain my
normal function." Mobile. AL.
Vacurect" 1 was designed by a 47 year old professional
engineer who was experiencing ED himself. With the
assistance of urologists and sexologists, he decided to
tackle the problems of bulkiness and awkward method of
use inherent in traditional Vacuum Erection Device fVED)
design. The breakthrough result is an extremely compact
and easy to use solution.
Im fact, due to its revolutionary design, the
Vacurect™ is 66% tighter and 33% less
bulky than conventional VEDs!
“ For the last five years, my husband and I had been
using an earlier model vacuum system... it was
awkward to include in our lovemaking and the rings
were uncomfortable for my husband. Now the
Vacurect 1 ' has unbelievably enhanced our intimate
moments together" Clifton. NJ.

The plow with its single steel blade and crude
wooden handles looks so humble, but it cut a mighty path across the vast
Midwestern prairie and forever changed America.
John Deere, the blacksmith who built the first successful steel plow in
1837, planted his company in Moline, 111., a decade later. Since then, Deeres
name has become an agricultural icon, and the company he started has grown
into an industrial giant, which today employs 46,000 workers worldwide.
Deere's story is the epitome of American innovation and achievement.
Down on his luck, Deere left Vermont in 1836 and headed west with a hand
ful of dollars and a reputation as a skilled craftsman.

Deere & Co. tractors have cultivated the nation’s farm fields since 1918.
“He made pitchforks that were so sharp they could penetrate the
toughest hay,” says Brian Holst, manager of the John Deere Collec
tors Center in Moline (pop. 43,768), where Deere & Co. has its world
headquarters.
Within days of settling in Grand Detour, 111., Deere was forging
tools and seeing disheartened pioneers struggle to cultivate the thick
mat of prairie grasses with the cast-iron plows that had worked fine in
the sandy soil of New England.
“The black topsoil (of the prairie) was gummier than gum," Holst
says. “You’d go 5 feet with a plow, digging the dirt and flipping it, and
then you’d have to grab a wooden putty knife to scrape it off.”
Deere, who grew up in his fathers tailor shop in Rutland, Vt. (pop.
17,292), and had polished and sharpened needles by running them
through sand, was convinced that the sticky soil would fall, or scour,
from a highly polished plow. From a broken saw blade, he fashioned his
first steel plow—an overnight wonder. Word spread about the “singing
plow" that bit the soil, which fell so smoothly without sticking that
farmers claimed they could hear the plow sing.
In 1848, Deere moved his growing business to Moline on the Mis
sissippi River. At the time, he was building 1,000 plows a year and
living his philosophy: “I will never put my name on a product that does
not have in it, the best that is in me."
In 1868, Deere and son Charles
incorporated the company and
began establishing “branch houses"
to sell their plows across the fron
tier. By 1889, the independently
run dealerships were operating in
Kansas City, St. Louis, Minneapolis,
Omaha, Neb., and San Francisco,
and 800 employees in Moline were
building an ever-expanding line of
farm implements, including plows,
corn planters and shelters, cultiva
tors and hay tools.
