Dear Advertiser: Thank you for your interest in Construction Equipment Guide (CEG).

CEG was founded in 1958 with the Northeast Edition because I realized that there was a shortage of used heavy construction equipment and that it was almost impossible to find. Recognizing that a regional publication would be a tremendous resource for both buyers and sellers, I published our first paper on May 29, 1958.

In an open letter to subscribers, published in the first issue, I described the mission of the paper: “The idea is to reach the five state market of 10,000 prime buyer prospects for the used equipment and supplies that you have for sale... We have one and only one purpose - to sell your used equipment.”

Fifty years and thousands of editions later, the purpose of CEG has greatly expanded. The paper has evolved from a simple listing of equipment to a sophisticated publication with in-depth coverage of industry news, including new equipment applications, major construction projects, personality profiles, job stories and legislation affecting the industry.

The coverage area of the Northeast Edition has increased from the original five-state area of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland to include all of New England and West Virginia. Circulation has grown to more than 26,000.

In 1988, our Southeast Edition was established to serve the dynamic Southeast and Caribbean markets. First published on November 30, 1988, today it has a circulation of more than 25,000 in ten states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Again, in 1994, CEG expanded. As the premier regional publication in the East, it was a logical extension to begin a Midwest Edition. The Midwest Edition, which circulates throughout the 13 state Midwest region, is currently delivered to more than 27,000 qualified buyers and sellers.

In 2005, CEG extended the existing Southwest Edition, which began publishing in 1999, to encompass the Pacific Northwest, and redubbed it the Western Edition, which now covers Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska and Hawaii with a total circulation of more than 31,000.

In May 2007, CEG purchased “Contractors Equipment Guide” based in Needham Heights, Mass., and converted the former all-advertising periodical into a traditional editorial/advertising newspaper. Now called the “New England State Supplement,” it is mailed to all New England subscribers to the Northeast Edition, 26 times a year.

The four editions of CEG have a combined circulation of approximately 107,000, 85 percent of whom own heavy equipment and use industry products and services. Each edition is published biweekly, 26 times a year. Unlike some other publications in the industry, CEG does not cycle its circulation. Every edition reaches the full circulation 26 times a year.

We also publish 12 special sections throughout the year featuring different types of construction equipment. The publication is filled with industry-related feature reports, along with nationally syndicated columnists and timely news stories. In addition, we publish state and regional editions that report on local construction developments in Florida and Puerto Rico, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee/Mississippi, the Carolinas, Virginia, Ohio and California.

Your advertising can be scheduled in any one edition, or in any combination of the four. You will find our advertising rates very competitive.

Please review the contained information and consider joining our ever-increasing list of satisfied advertisers, some of whom have not missed an issue in more than 50 years. We look forward to working with you to develop a customized marketing program that best serves your needs.

Sincerely,

Edwin M. McKeon Publisher 2

Drilling Could Ease Minds of Speculators Tapping Billions of Barrels on America’s Soil, Off Its Shore May Offer Remedy

By Giles Lambertson CEG CORRESPONDENT

CEG G Looks s Back k Overr 50 Years s off Construction…8

The United States didn’t find itself on the short end of the oil dipstick overnight. It took decades for the situation to develop and, unfortunately, will take years to rectify. Consequently, there is no quick fix for construction companies struggling with high fuel prices.

Geologists are confident that oil measured in the billions of barrels is puddled under America’s soil and off its shores, but there are no natural That Ends spigots that can be turned on to let the crude oil pour from the earth and into refinery tanks.

Drilling is required and drilling is an expensive, years-long process.

Other factors also affect the price of fuel, of course, including environmental caution, political gamesmanship, armed conflict in oil-producing countries and investor speculation. Yet when fears and financiers have boogied the market to the full extent of their power, the volume of crude oil in the system remains the key to oil pricing.

The supply-and-demand balance in the crude oil market became seriously skewed toward demand earlier this decade when some emerging economic powers — notably, China — began to skim off a larger share of the commodity, leaving the rest of the industrialized world to do with less.

In the economic world, lessened supply always translates into higher prices.

So drilling once again is in vogue.

“There is always a certain amount of drilling going on,” said Kermit Witherbee, an energy resources manager in the Bureau of Land We l l Management of the U.S. Department of Interior, “but it tends to follow a boom and bust cycle.”

Fred F. Keesler, 86, of C.C. & F.F. Keesler Inc., in Prospect Park, Pa., died July 15 at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia.

Mr. Keesler was president of the crane and trailer dealer outside of Philadelphia, Pa., until his retirement in 1988. The company was founded by his father, Clyde C. Keesler, in 1926.

Though he retired, Fred Keesler remained involved with the business he loved.

“He would come in some mornings during the week to check things out, to give some advice and council,” recalled son Rick Keesler, vice president of C.C. & F.F. Keesler.

“That went on for four or five years until his health didn’t permit him to do that anymore.

Manufacturers Begin to Tout Fuel Efficiency

By Giles Lambertson CEG CORRESPONDENT

RDO O Celebrates s 40th Anniversary y in n N.D.…11

Contractors trying to cope with zooming fuel costs have short-term and long-term options.

They can immediately take steps to operate their heavy equipment as efficiently as possible, though many contractors already are squeezing every last ounce of efficiency from machines and crews. For the longer haul, they must weigh the dollars and sense of updating fleets with new generations of equipment that feature fuel-sipping technology.

Neither option does much to ease bottom line pressures. Operating choices today for contrac-

tors range from painful to slightly less painful.

Richard A. Juliano, vice president for federal and state relations at the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, said association members seem to have adopted a realistic attitude toward the crisis.

“Members see this as an unprecedented situation that is not going to go away in the foreseeable future,” Juliano said in early July as oil prices topped $145 a barrel. “It is the world we have to live in, literally, and they are just trying to do the best they can.”

The world for heavy equipment owners was shaped to a significant extent by federal stan-

Indiana Opens $17.4M Parkway Interchange BROWNSBURG, Ind. (AP) The $17.4 million Ronald Reagan Parkway interchange at I-74 opened July 9, approximately two months ahead of schedule.

Local and state officials, including Sen. Connie Lawson, RDanville, and Rep. Greg Steuerwald, R-Avon, attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony July 7 to commemorate the completion of the work.

The project, which began last summer, is part of Gov. Mitch Daniels’ Major Moves highway construction program.

The interchange could be an important link in Hendricks County’s long-awaited Ronald Reagan Parkway. The north-south corridor eventually will extend nearly 15 mi. (24 km) through Plainfield, Avon and Brownsburg. The parkway eventually will connect I-70 and I-74.

The new interchange will be about two miles east of the Ind. 267 interchange.

general commercial building. They enjoy this work because it is different. It is a change of pace for them.”

Some other contractors in the park construction business have reached the same conclusion: Building “fun things” brings a special dimension of satisfaction to a construction project.

The projects are all across America — and around the world — wherever an amusement park, a

theme park or a family fun center springs up to cater to thrill-seeking human impulses. The projects range in scope from the original Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. — and the numerous successor Disney theme parks — to neighborhood amusement centers whose popular appeal never reaches beyond a small community.

Crushing, Screening & Recycling Section Nacirema Rises to the Occasion Over 10 Years of Service Proving to be a company as American as apple pie, Nacirema has experienced the best and the saddest of jobs in the nation during the 10 years since it was founded.

“We’ll go anywhere,” said Sal Carucci, Nacirema’s vice president of sales.

For example, the company has been involved with replacing luxury boxes at the Green Bay Packers’ venerable Lambeau Field. And within hours of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on New York City’s World Trade Center, Nacirema was called in to assist for the next three-and-a-half months, 24/7.

Phenomenal growth from its early days, when the company had just five employees, two excavators and a truck also has been a part of Nacirema’s story.

Today, the Bayonne, N.J.-based firm has grown to more than 350 employees and is among the nation’s most trusted demolition contractors, according to the company.

The Nacirema Group consists of two divisions: Nacirema Environmental (primarily the demolition side of the business) and Nacirema Industries (the waste management, construction, demolition and hazardous material removal and

disposal side of the company).

The business started in 1998 after the three principals — John Cherchio, president; Sal Carucci, vice president of sales; and Anthony Novello, vice president of administration — met and shared their vision for the future. According to Novello, the company’s phenomenal growth is due to asset management.

“We have continually capitalized our assets,” he said. “Instead of lining our own pockets, we have put all our profits back into the company to fund future assets. That’s how we’ve taken this to the next level.”
