Each time your merchandise purchases reach $3,000 within 12 months*, you’ll receive a $500 gift certificate!
Once you’ve reached your $3,000 mark, your future purchases continue to count, so you can go right on earning your next $500 gift certificate.
Web purchases, as well as phone, fax, and mail orders are included. You also get credit for all merchandise purchased on sale during the year, at our famous clinics, or in other promotions that we run from time to time.
There’s no catch, and no limit to how many gift certificates you can receive.
You can spend your Centaur Forge gift certificates on any merchandise we offer (including large machine tools) anytime within 12 months of their issue to you. The Frequency Reward Program works at both Centaur Forge Branches - Centaur Forge Wisconsin in Burlington, WI, and Centaur Forge Texas in New Braunfels, TX.
*Don’t you hate footnotes? All this one says is that shipping, taxes, use of gift certificates, and purchases of certain large machine tools like air hammers are excluded from the $3,000 total. Dear Centaur Forge Customers and Friends –
Thank you for your support over the last year during my deployment to Iraq. I appreciate all the e-mails and correspondence received from each and every one of you. If I didn’t respond, I apologize, as I did not have access to e-mail too often. Regardless, thank you again, and I am glad that I am home and back to the business here at Centaur Forge.
I can truly tell you that within my year deployment, I witnessed many actions from our troops that would make you proud of our young men and women serving in the military. It is remarkable to think that young “twenty-something” individuals are empowered in making key decisions that influence both Iraq and the “Global War on Terrorism” effort.
During my year I saw the conditions within Iraq improve drastically. From the elections to the improvement of the Iraqi Security Forces (both Army and Police), the country is improving. I was never prouder than when Iraqi citizens continually thanked us for their right to vote.
Finally, the infrastructure within the country has been upgraded and the necessities of running water and power are improving. School children now enjoy text books and cherish the crayons and colored pencils that they have received.
The country of Iraq is on the right track, in this one man’s opinion. Many are not sure if this is a just cause, and I will not attempt to sway support one way or the other. However, I can honestly say that I am proud to be an American and am glad that I experienced a life-changing experience for both me and my family.
On behalf of my family and all the employees at Centaur Forge, I want to express my deepest gratitude to you. I look forward to talking to each and every one of you via e-mail or on the phone. Good forging and shoeing to you all!
Sincerely,

Major Ernest Litynski
President, Centaur Forge
