Oh, yes Ron, I am very bad writing english. I want to
sais is that if you dont watch your cost, you are out
of bussiness. My subcontractor sell to me the work
for .58 a piece including all type of material and
manhour. I dont remember how many shirt by hour he do
because I am talking about 10 years ago. But my point
is that at diference of Ronald he never think to do
$60 per hour and because that he is out of business.
When you don't watch your price and respect what you
do you are "victimized" by the reseller that fight
price between our people. My other point about it is
that I made much money with the price war between
screenprinting subcontractor and I not live much time
whithout them. Ronald open my eyes to the fact that i
not want to do the same error that my subcontractor
and need to go out of the embroidery bussiness. $60
per hour is good and $1.50 per thousand is very good.
Take it or go.
