WorldWide Drilling Resource

27 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® FEBRUARY 2016 A QUICK STOP DOWN SOUTH by Mary Lynn Mixson, Representative, WorldWide Drilling Resource ® It was fall, but in the South, September still brings hot temperatures with plenty of humidity. WWDR ’s CEO and Managing Publisher Ronnie Jones and I were on a public relations trip, and we had planned our route to visit long-time customers, as well as prospective ones. We left Florida the day before, so after leaving the Atlanta South RV Resort with the Work and Play in tow the next morning, we headed straight for Simmons Manufacturing Company. It wasn’t long before we pulled off Route I-75, parked the Suburban, and performed a quick safety check of our motorized chariot. Simmons Manufactur ing Company is located in McDonough, Georgia, which is about 30 miles south of busy Atlanta. When we walked in the front door of the building we re- ceived a true Southern Hospitality Welcome. Someone said, “We haven’t had a visit from anyone with a camera for 30 years!” Of course, when the Simmons crew saw the red shirts and camera, they knew we couldn’t leave without getting at least one group shot of everyone there. Just like every WWDR Team member, Simmons employees know the best customer service, product quality, and total value are vital to our mutual success. Founded in 1957, this company has been making high-quality, American-made water well supplies for more than 57 years. Simmons has been dedicated to providing a complete line of products in a full range of sizes, materials, and options. From the bottom of the well to the top and beyond, water well professionals rely on this manufacturer for accessories like silicon bronze cast body check valves, certified lead-free foot valves, well seals, well caps, pitless adapters, tank tees, and fittings, just to mention a few. We at WWDR certainly enjoyed stopping by to surprise the staff at Simmons Manufacturing Company and would love to extend an open invitation to any of our friends in the drilling industry. If you happen to be on your way through the panhandle of Florida, don’t forget to stop by. We’d love to see you too! --- *+ )#)('-()$* !(& )(%#'" +)""+ ,'.*,+ -'"/ 0 . 1 1 1 1
