You always get

what you pay for
This is our friend Chuck.

Chuck is the foreman of the

company. His colleagues name
him the “expert”.

Chuck makes sure that the

work is well done, punctually
and at good value.

His motto: “I only buy the best”.

And this is Detlef.

Detlef’s only concern is cost.

His colleagues call him
“scrooge”.

Detlef’s motto:
“I only buy the cheapest”.

Detlef is convinced:
“Without me the company
would have gone bankrupt
a long time ago”.
Chuck says: “For a good hoist rope from Casar I pay $ 1500”.

Detlef is convinced: “Chuck is crazy! There are hoist ropes

available for only $ 1000”.
Chuck proves to Detlef: “Service
performance of the Casar rope
is three times that of
the cheaper rope”.

Detlef realizes: “I have to buy three ropes for $ 1000 each to

manage the same work!”.
The boss is happy: “With Casar Special Wire Ropes
the company saves money”.

Note:

A good rope
is not cheap.
A cheap rope
is not good.
