2008 - Vol.49 No.2 - Prudential Overall Supply

December 2008
To Our Friends,
As 2008 comes to an end, I wonder what unnerves us the most; the final days of a Presidential campaign,
the uncertainty of change, the melt down of Wall Street and our banking system, a housing market
collapse or tight credit. These are certainly interesting and challenging times. The pundits have answers
and it’s easy to criticize, but maybe we should look at ourselves. We know we shouldn’t spend more
than we earn. Our lack of discipline and self-control compromise our core values. Governments and
companies are no different. We must hold ourselves and others accountable.
I have a positive attitude and believe hard work can solve most problems, and this process makes us
better.
Prudential has a history of growing and earning profits which makes us all successful. We grow and
expand from profits, not debt. This has suited us well over the years.
I know we value our jobs, wages and benefits. Prudential is proud we can pay our associates good wages
and benefits, but we all realize these benefits come from profits earned from serving our customers. We
know we’re all responsible to contribute so POS grows and remains profitable and healthy. Thanks to
Prudential’s past leadership, we are debt free and financially able to handle the trying times ahead.
As we enter an uncertain 2009 we must remember that success is the actualization of giving 100% effort,
developing teamwork, synergism with people and being the best we can be. Listen — Adapt — Be
Positive.
POS has to stay committed to its core values of:
1.) Retaining our customers by giving them good service and excellent value for their dollar.
2.) Valuing our associates.
3.) Growing and filling up our plants.
At this time of year we cherish the privilege of expressing our sincere thanks to each of our customers,
employees, suppliers and friends for the nice things they have done for us in 2008, and to extend our
heartfelt best wishes for the year 2009. It is my hope
that we may keep the holiday spirit alive throughout
the year. This attitude of optimism, hope, faith,
love and good will toward all, will help to produce
positive attitudes and results in each one of us. May
God grant each of you joy, peace and happiness in
this holiday season and the forthcoming year.
Merry Christmas to All!
