Bradley's Summer Job

Yesterday Bradley and his friend Michael decided to start their own business - yup, they are 12!! They have a mower and weed wacker and will travel . . . by foot to central (gulp) Enola.


Calling themselves MB Mowing, they have created flyers and in a moment of sheer marketing genius . . . asked me to take photos of them in matching shirts to authenticate their business. They even came up with a tag line - Hometown boys offering hometown service . . . at a hometown price. Ok, maybe I helped a little . . .

These flyers were then distributed to neighbors in a three block radius and we are just waiting for the phone to ring off the hook.


I gotta give them credit . . . it was delightful to listen to them discussing realistic topics such as who mows and who weedwacks, what about offering discounts, how much to charge and what to do if it is a one person job.


So they are just waiting for the phone to ring off the hook!
