Bobby Lee Wilcox, founder of Cowboy Wood Floor Cleaning Services stated; “Cowboy Cleaning’s process adds a new life and glow bringing the floors back to a Lustrous sheen. Years of dirt and build-up are cleaned and scrubbed away. After your floors are cleaned, if you wish to have a finish put on them to help protect them more, then we prepare them to receive a new hard finish.”

Mr. Wilcox further stated; “Our process requires you to remove all furniture from the area to be refinished and to avoid walking on the floors with shoes for about 5-6 hours.

Hardwood Floor Cleaning, Restoration & Refinishing, Seattle -02

With our hardwood floor cleaning process, we can bring back the color and shine to your hardwood floors. Your hardwood floors will look like new again.

There are occasions where we cannot repair or fully restore the floor due to its condition.

We start with an Aggressive Wood Floor Cleaner. Even the toughest polyurethane finish occasionally needs restoration or deep cleaning. Intensive Floor Treatment cleaner is especially designed for deep cleaning wood floors coated with polyurethane finishes.

There are different floor finishes that you can choose from to put on your floor.

After preparing the floors, we apply a Wood Floor Finish. It is a finish that forms a protective coating which prevents dirt from penetrating the finish. Let us transform your worn floors to a lustrous shine.”

“Always use a professional wood floor contractor as there are many technical concerns that can adversely affect or compromise the product.” Bobby Lee Wilcox

Types of Wood Floors:
1. Solid – Solid constructed wood floor products ranging from 1/4″ to 25/32″ with some product of 1″

2. Engineered – Wood Flooring products constructed in various layers, with grain alternating in opposite directions giving this product more stability for installation in areas solid wood floor products cannot be installed. This product comes in various ply’s ( layers), most being 3-5 ply.

3.Acrylic Impregnated – Wood Floor products that the wood grain has been injected with an acrylic material making it very hard and durable, making this a good choice for high traffic areas such as restaurants, malls, and other high traffic areas. With the various colors and patterns this also can be used for in home installation.

Styles of Wood Floors
Parquet-Parquet wood flooring is a series of wood flooring pieces that create a geometric design and/or pattern often repeat in the piece from 5/16″(glue down) up to 3/4″ (nail & glue down)

Plank-Plank hardwood flooring is linear, and has more width. Common widths of plank flooring are 3″ – 8″, and wider products (solids) are not uncommon although the wider the more concerns for effects by moisture.

Strip-Strip wood floors are also linear flooring that is usually 1 1/2″, 2 1/4″, or 3 1/4″ wide. Creating a linear effect, strip hardwood floor in a room often gives the illusion of a larger and more open space.

Davis Foreclosures and Short Sale PropertiesWhat is a Short Sale?
A short sale can be an excellent solution for homeowners who need to sell, and who owe more on their homes than they are worth. In the past, it was rare for a bank or lender to accept a short sale. Today, however, due to overwhelming market changes, banks and lenders have become much more negotiable when it comes to these transactions.

Davis Properties in Foreclosure - Foreclosed PropertiesWhat is Foreclosure?
When you purchased your home, chances are you took out a home loan and your lender took a security interest in the property. In the event that you cannot make your mortgage payments, this security interest gives your lender the right to foreclose– auction off your house and keep the proceeds in order to recover its investment.

VIN: 31289
Miles: unknown
Years of Ownership: Private Collection for 25 years

This is an original 1920 Overland Four Touring Car manufactured by Willys-Overland Motor Company, Toledo, Ohio

This is an original 1920 Overland Model 4 Touring Car. So much  fun to drive!

This is an original 1920 Overland Model 4 Touring Car. So much fun to drive!

Condition
The car is not in show condition, I would describe it as being in good condition (great condition for a 90 year old car). It is a fun drivable car. It has an electric starter, but I find it more fun to hand crank the engine to start it. It does draw attention.



Manufactured by Willys-Overland Motor Company in 1920. This is a fine Vintage Car!

Manufactured by Willys-Overland Motor Company in 1920. This is a fine Vintage Car!

Ownership History
My first car was a 1931 Ford Model A Victoria (commonly known as a Vicky). I bought the car when I was fourteen. The car was all original except the Kelsey Hayes spoke wheels and was in very good to great condition; but my goal was to build a hot rod. During the next few years my father and I designed and built a complete chassis for the car with four wheel independent suspension and powered by a supercharged aluminum Olds engine. This show car was featured in Hot Rod magazine in June of 1965.

A few years later I began feeling guilty for destroying a piece of automotive history. Just after Christmas 1984 on my way home from work, I saw a beautiful antique car parked in a gas station with a for sale sign. I had always loved the 1920’s Touring Cars. The car was in fine condition and had been restored in about 1975. I bought the car on the spot and have enjoyed it ever since.

From 1912 to 1918 only Ford produced more Model T cars than Willys-Overland. Willys-Overland sold over 126,000 Overland Four cars in 1920.

From 1912 to 1918 only Ford produced more Model T cars than Willys-Overland. Willys-Overland sold over 126,000 Overland Four cars in 1920.

My son had just turned four and we had the greatest times taking the car to the local nature center every Saturday. This was our father-son time. We enjoyed many parades with his friends.

The absolute best memory happened one summer day. I had stopped for gas and as I was filling her up, I noticed an older gentleman driving by. He pulled into the gas station, parked next to me and got out of his car. He came over and asked me if the car was a 1920 Overland. I confirmed it was and he turned to his wife and brought her over to the car. He was so excited. He then told his wife that this was the same year and model car that they had taken on their honeymoon (so many years ago). They were back in the moment. I will never forget the love in their eyes!

Willys-Overland Brief History
The first Overland was designed by Claude E. Cox, who, with financial backing from David M. Parry, started the Overland Automobile Company in 1906. The Overland Co. had its origins in Indianapolis. But no sooner did they get started than they ran into financial trouble as the result of an economic downturn in 1907 that nearly bankrupted the company. The unlikely savior of the company was J.N. Willys.

Successfully competing with both Ford and Chevrolet, this Overland Four Touring Car seated 5 persons and was finished in “hard baked enamel”. It weighed 1,900 pounds and sold at a low price of $595.

By 1917 buyers had a choice of Overland vehicles badged as either Willys or Willys-Knight, depending on budget and engine choice. The more expensive Knight came with a sleeve-valve engine and was the choice of Mr. Willys himself. But the less expensive, poppet-valved Willys, was the company’s bread and butter vehicle, especially during the war years.

1908 John North Willys buys the Overland Automotive Division of Standard Wheel Company.
1912 John North Willys renames the Willys Overland Division to Willys-Overland Motor Company.
1936 Coming out of bankruptcy following the Great Depression, the company is reorganized as Willys-Overland Motors, Inc.
1940 Working from a Bantam Car Company design, Willys contracts to build military Jeeps for the war and produces about 360,000 vehicles by 1945.

The 1920 Willys-Overland Touring Car was the predecessor to the Willys Overland jeep and Willys Overland jeepster.

The sign above states that the car is only $595 and it has a starter and lights, Duco Finish, Demountable Rims and is a 5 Passenger Sedan.

John N. Willys bought the Overland Automotive Division of the Standard Wheel Company in 1908 and renamed it the Willys-Overland Motor Company in 1912. From 1912 to 1918 only Ford produced more cars than Willys-Overland. In 1917 Willys made Willys-Overland a division of the Willys Corporation and added the Duesenberg Motors Corporation as a division in 1919. In 1936 the Willys-Overland Motor Company was renamed Willys-Overland Motors.

In the middle 1920s the Overland Company decided to bring out a new machine in direct competition with aging Ford Model T; this was the Whippet, one of the least powerful, but most remembered, cars of the 1920s. The Manitoba Antique Auto Museum displays one of the very first Whippets, a 1926 Whippet 96 tourer with Serial Number 161!

Original 1915 magazine advertisement

With 19 horsepower, the 1920 Willys-Overland Touring Car can’t be considered a hot rod or muscle car. My best speed has been 35 miles per hour!

The Overland Model 83 for 1916 was introduced by early June 1915, far in advance of a normal introductory announcement, thanks to the West Coast exposition.

Over hill, over dale, over rough and rutted trail, over gully and the sands, and deep grass on prairie lands. These places held one thing common: they were conquered by the Overland, a product of the Willys-Overland Co. of Toledo, Ohio.

meet Bobby Lee Wilcox founder of Cowboy Cleaning Services

IBC Digital Marketing welcomes Cowboy Cleaning Services to the Affinity Network serving Seattle Washington. Founded by Bobby Lee Wilcox, Cowboy Cleaning Service is insured and licensed and has been satisfying customers since 1999.

Bobby Wilcox notes, ”We take pride in our work and provide Quality cleaning that goes above and beyond your normal house cleaner. Our standards are very high and our staff will not leave a home until they are confident it is totally clean. Our customers have even told us that when we finish cleaning, their homes not only look clean, but feel clean.

Are You Selling Your Home?
A home that looks and feels clean will likely sell quicker than the others; homeowners are more likely to get an offer closer to their asking price. Realtors know this and have requested our services on several occasions prior to putting a home up for sale or before an open house. Let us deep clean your home so it will shine for prospective buyers. We can bring back the color and shine to your hardwood floors.

Are You Moving Into A New Home?
Let us help make your new home move-in ready with a thorough cleaning from floor to ceiling. You won’t be able to tell anyone else has lived there. We will hand wipe clean every ledge, every closet shelf, every kitchen and bathroom drawer. Your bathrooms and kitchen will be cleaned and disinfected using 120° F of steam. We will sweep and mop your tile and wood flooring and vacuum your carpets.

Would You Like To Give Your Present Home A Fresh Look And Feel?
We can give your home a detail cleaning to make your home feel special again. We will rid your home of dirt and dust and make your bathrooms and kitchen sparkle and shine.

We are environmentally friendly – We use green cleaning products!

Small Business Advertising – Tips for Success

May 26, 2010 in 2.Tips for Success by Knudsen

Small Business Advertising - Tips for SuccessSmall business advertising can be hit or miss. What is the most effective method of reaching your potential customers?

If you want to create consumer awareness and boost your sales, consider these facts. The challenge most local small businesses face in today’s crowded, competitive market is simple — being discovered.

Does your current advertising program include internet marketing? There are over 182 million websites! How does a small business compete against global companies that spend millions on search engine optimization in order to rank highest on the internet? Until now, it was almost impossible.

But, thanks to IBC Digital Marketing’s Affinity Networks program, small businesses can now compete for customers… and win! Consider this fact. Last year, there were over 272 billion internet searches in the USA alone! So, helping local businesses get discovered by consumers is a major challenge despite the many advantages the internet offers us.

This is why Affinity Networks are so powerful! At Affinity Networks, we have the technology, experience and expertise to help local businesses improve their ranking among the leading search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN); and, through Affinity Networks’ unique design, we have been very successful in helping our business-members jump to the top 10 search results.

Each Affinity Network is hosted by a Host Member such as a realtor, hotel, home improvement business, etc. In addition to the Host Member, each Affinity Network is populated with up to 150 local businesses that have a natural linkage to the Host Member. For example, a national real estate brokerage company would be an excellent Host Member for household product companies, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, attorneys, accountants, restaurants, banks, and so forth.

Small Business Advertising with Affinity Networks

The Affinity Networks are exclusive networks. Each member company has been sponsored by a reputable Affinity Network Partner. We are looking for exceptional businesses to join our Affinity Networks. Key selection factors are Professionalism, Integrity and Customer Service.

Affinity Networks believes that constructive feedback is the breakfast of champions. Successful Companies encourage feedback and use feedback to improve their businesses. Customers are encouraged to rate your business. All constructive feedback is posted – good or bad. Ratings help new potential clients evaluate company choices. The company being rated has the option of posting a comment to any rating.

Affinity Networks also posts Press Releases for your company in key internet sites to create even more Search Optimized Content. The press releases are usually displayed on the first page of search results. You will provide the Press Release content as part of the process when you fill out the information for your Impact Pages (Press Releases can be submitted to Affinity Networks at any time). Links to your Impact Pages are included in the Press Releases.

Affinity Networks invites your business to become a member of our Affinity Networks program. The membership fees are very reasonable and the return-on-investment is outstanding!

Affinity Networks Launches a New Affinity Network Hosted by Doug West – Oceanside, CA

May 25, 2010 in Arrowood Affinity Network by Knudsen

First Team Real Estate - Doug West - Homes for Sale - Oceanside, San Diego County, CaliforniaIBC Digital Marketing welcomes Doug West as host of the new Affinity Network serving Arrowood Communities (Arrow Wood Communities), Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Diego County, California. Doug West maintains a large listing of homes for sale and is a full service realtor/real estate consultant with First Team Real Estate.

Visit Doug West’s Impact Page on Affinity Networks

Doug West noted, “I want to host an Affinity Network because families are always relocating to new neighborhoods and require the services of a good real estate agent. But, it doesn’t stop there. When a family relocates from Phoenix to San Diego, they also need to find a new family doctor, grocery store, pizza shop, restaurants, schools, dentist, landscaper, carpet and window cleaners, furniture stores, pest control services, banks or credit union, local attractions, trash collection services, movie theaters, soccer club, little league teams, church or synagogue and so forth.”

In this era of online shopping and internet marketing, Affinity Networks are growing in popularity as a way to help local businesses increase sales and boost customer awareness. One of the leaders in developing Affinity Networks is IBC Digital Marketing based in Oceanside, California. IBC Digital Marketing’s chief executive, Chris Knudsen, explained that Affinity Networks are exclusive, online communities of trusted exceptional local businesses that join together via the internet to offer their products and services.

But, through Affinity Networks, outstanding local businesses can feed off of each other through internet searches, customer referrals and positive consumer ratings. This translates to a higher internet ranking and a stronger online presence. And, that means more customers for your business.”

“The power of having all these additional business-members listed on your Affinity Network increases your visibility and internet rankings. This is how consumers find you. Otherwise, your business is lost in a sea of internet sites no matter how well-designed it is. The key is to boost your visibility by boosting your search engine rankings. This is the power of Affinity Networks.”

Affinity Networks are also proving to be very cost effective. According to the American Consumer Council, Affinity Networks can stretch a local business’s marketing dollar by 40% because they are cheaper that print advertising and they reach 30 times as many consumers because of their online presence.
