3M the company that makes post-it notes also make a whole load of
other products.

In a recent marketing campaign in Vancouver they sought a strong
image for their security glass.

They modified a bus shelter and fitted their security glass and
filled it with real banknotes !!

Many have tried to gain access with golf clubs and baseball bats
but obviously the glass remains intact !

From time to time a local TV station intends to show videos of
those trying to get at the cash!!

Great publicity !!

So I know what the quality of 3M stands for... Their wide range of products are simply astounding...

The above glass enclosure looks very inviting... But if it's 3M, its got to be impervious...:up:

It is inexplicable to comprehend that even a sledge hammer can't break the glass!

How about cutting the glass through with a wood chopper?! :rolleyes:

:D Haraam kee audlad hei sabh saale ...

In his diary ... Mahatma Gandhi noted seven deadly sins ... Nerrulal and his clan has committed them all.

Politics without principles, (political) position without sacrifice, knowledge without character, riches without work ... :) UMAbai for sure knows the rest.

Yes, my dear ... anything you say.

Bai, Kabhee to sense bola ker. Billion-dollar company is going to commit fraud and print fake currency? A multinational corporation, which spends millions of dollars in worldwide advertisement, cannot afford to take a risk (to prove their product) with few hundred thousand? Kabhee to sense bola ker, bai?

You know what is worse than a woman who argues over anything?

Interesting Facts about the Minnesota Mining And Manufacturing Company (3M)



1) Scotch Tape got its name when a St. Paul auto painter, annoyed that an early prototype of masking tape only had adhesive along its outer edges, proclaimed, “Take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!” The name — like the improved tape it inspired — stuck.

2) 3M was founded in 1902 to mine Crystal Bay corundum, an ideal substitute for a mineral used by furniture makers. It wasn’t until 1907 that 3M’s founders learned that their corundum wasn’t corundum at all, but a useless low-grade mineral.

3) William L. McKnight, a longtime president and chairman of the board of 3M, joined the company in 1907 as assistant bookkeeper when the headmaster of Duluth Business University recommended him, despite having completed just five months of the six-month course.

4) 3M was the first company to use office voicemail, when it became available, in 1980.

5) U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the moon wearing space boots with soles made of synthetic material from 3M. The company’s tapes, plastics, sealers, adhesives and ceramics have been part of spacecraft construction, as well as protective clothing for astronauts.

6) Scotch Audiotape brought a Christmas message of peace from U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower transmitted from a satellite orbiting earth.

7) 3M employee Lew Lehr refused to give up when his superiors insisted that he discontinue efforts to market 3M surgical drapes in the 1940s. The product eventually became a best seller for 3M and was the first health care innovation in a now $3 billion market center. Lehr later became chairman of the board and CEO of the company.

8) In 1984, 3M was the first American-based company in the modern era to establish a wholly owned subsidiary in mainland China.

9) 3M developed the first refastenable diaper tapes in 1985.

10) In 1985, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave 3M a Scientific Engineering Award for magnetic film that greatly enhances audio capabilities of movie sound tracks.

11) 3M invented the first artificial playing surface used at athletic facilities, known as Tartan Turf and Tartan Track.

12) Michael Johnson won a gold medal in the 2000 Olympics 400-meter sprint wearing shoes made from 24-carat gold Scotchlite brand reflective fabric developed by 3M.

13) 3M is the leading provider of signage materials around the world for both traffic safety and commercial messages.

14) 3M was one of the first American companies to establish a global presence. By 1992, 3M’s international operations contributed more than 50 percent of the company’s revenues. That figure grew to 53 percent of the company’s revenues in 2001.

15) 3M’s worldwide environmental initiatives have yielded an 88 percent reduction in volatile organic air emissions from 1990 levels and cut manufacturing releases into water by 82 percent.

16) Current 3M chairman of the board and CEO, W. James McNerney, Jr., is the first outsider to lead the company.
