Cequent Consumer Products and AutoTex Pink Celebrate the 110th Anniversary of the Invention of the Wiper Blade
Pine Brook, NJ (PRWEB) October 10, 2013 -- In 1903, Mary Anderson made a difference in the lives of others. After a winter visit to New York City, she noticed trolley car operators had to physically open the window and wipe off their windshields so they could see where they were going. When she returned home, she created a window cleaning device that could clear rain, sleet or snow from the windshield by using a handle inside the car.
The windshield wiper is turning 110 years old and continues to make a difference in people’s lives. Paula Lombard, a 20-year wiper industry veteran, has taken “making a difference in people’s lives” to the next level by creating AutoTex Pink Wiper Blades. For every wiper blade purchased, AutoTex PINK proudly makes a donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation for sales made in the US and the Breast Cancer Society of Canada for sales made in Canada. The simple act of changing your wiper blades can change a life.
The NBCF fulfills its mission to save lives through early detection and provide mammograms to those in need by increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services. When breast cancer is detected early, the five year relative survival rate is 98 percent.
Cequent Consumer Products is proud to announce that they have expanded their consumer reach by proudly offering AutoTex Pink wiper blades in their new online store http://www.thecequentstore.com. AutoTex Pink wipers are also available through Cequent in a growing number of retailers nationwide, at online retailers such as Amazon.com, WalMart.com and Grainger.com.
AutoTex PINK is a woman-owned and created company that is among the nation’s leading suppliers of windshield wipers. AutoTex PINK is committed to partnering with their customers to raise breast cancer awareness and funds for the cause in the campaign to “Wipe Out Breast Cancer.” An AutoTex Pink purchase is more than just a statement- it is a selfless commitment and an investment in a life-saving change. “Change your blades… Change a Life!”
AutoTex Pink boasts a full line of high quality, universal windshield wipers with 99 percent coverage of vehicles on the road. The wipers come in standard black with a pink ribbon and in full pink color to make a bolder statement.
As an advocate for women’s safety and increasing their automotive knowledge, AutoTex Pink recommends changing your wiper blades every six months to a year, depending on your residential climate.
