<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dear stovers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We are currently running a pilot for locally made stoves
going down the high specification but locally adapted central manufacturing
route. The stoves are made from mild steel and have the general dimension of a
20 liter paintcan.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As part of the pilot project we will be bringing 500
stoves to the market. For a number of reasons we want and need traceability of
the stoves to the end user but also need "protection" from low specification
copy-cats that will soon spring up.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We are looking at various ways how to put a label or
someting similar on the stove. Technology for this is hardly available here in
The Gambia. We can print sticky labels but with heat exposure and washing they
will soon come off. Stamping in to the body is cumbersome and adds to much
cost.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Anybody out there who faced a similar challenge and found
a cost effective elegant solution? All suggestions would be
welcome.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Cheers</FONT></DIV>
