**
There once were two girls who loved beer,
So they started a small brewery one year.
They mashed and they boiled
They cleaned and they toiled
brewing beer that inspired people to cheer. (hear hear!)
Their brewery was a throwback
to times in the past
where ingredients were sourced locally
and community ties held fast.
The girls’ small team did it all. Not just making the beer
but the numbers, the sales, the ordering of gear.
They filled bottles, and kegs, and even growlers, too.
Then they’d fill up their cars and deliver the brew.
The customer interactions they held dear
but the transport they feared –
the old van with its whine…the car that’s too small
the truck that’s divine, but for short girls, too tall.
They needed something safe, with much better mileage
that could fit all their beer and match their cool style-age.
They needed dependable, durable, and even Ford tough.
And it needed to work when New Hampshire Winters were rough.
And then one day they saw the new 2015 Transit by Ford
And they looked at each other and their hearts just soared.
This is the vehicle of their dreams, just what their business needs
A gift like this could make them truly succeed!

Thank you all in advance.
