			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’ve redone our method of displaying artwork. Our new format makes viewing your artwork easier to see and understand. See the example shown here:</p>
<p>As you can see we now feature an actual-size drawing of your final product along with a measuring scale for you to see clearly how the final product will look. You can print this out at 100% size, which will give you an accurate depiction of your new product’s appearance at its true, final size. And you’ll also see a large-format rendering of your product’s artwork, complete with shadows and highlights that make it appear more realistic.</p>
<p>We’re proud of our new method, and we think you’ll agree that viewing artwork has never been easier—or clearer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Pennsylvania every June, the world waits for the best Little Leaguers to arrive. Thousands of fans watch in person, and millions watch on television, as these teams compete against each other for the title of World’s best. These games would not be possible without the help of numerous volunteers who donate their time and energy to ensure the games go smoothly.</p>
<p>Notable among these volunteers are the World Series Ushers, many of whom have been doing this for years. Among them is Tim Terry, who created a pin to represent the ushers back in 2005, and launched the pin program that is in full swing to this day. Tim started with a green usher’s shirt pin, and others have now joined the tradition, creating pins that honored their home states and titles. The Ushers’ shirt pins have now been joined by baseball cap and pants pins—and soon to be more, all proudly created by C Sanders Emblems.</p>
