Umbrella THREE ELEPHANTS and vegetable garden
You know, gardeners sometimes need new umbrellas. So mine broke too. I decided to buy myself a better one in order to forget about this problem for a long time. But it turned out... That I will not forget!
So, the first part of the article about the legendary umbrella THREE ELEPHANTS. And the second part is about Three Elephants and a vegetable garden.
Why exactly he
I was looking for a better umbrella, but which one? Dont know. Look: THREE ELEPHANTS. O! I remember. Back in Soviet times, this Japanese umbrella was valued. I ordered it. It was honestly written that it is made in China. Specifically, the one that I bought. Well, you won't surprise anyone for a long time.
And something drew me to read about this brand.
This is a legend
Here unforgettable impressions awaited me. To begin with, my tag is on the left and Soviet tags on the right (they are sold for 100 rubles. on the auction):
Read - read the legend of the three elephants on the new label on the left!
And these are my tags, three in total, and a branded bag:
Now, really.
There has never been a company THREE ELEPHANES in Japan. And for the sake of legend, in 1985 appeared in g. Osaka firm Futagawa Kaisha Ltd., and in 1988 was renamed SILM Co., Ltd.
- There was no 120-year-long umbrella three-elephant business
- The Japanese umbrella manufacturer THREE ELEPHANTS does not trade with 75 countries, as they write on the sites. He does not trade with any of them.
- And in 1970, Japanese umbrellas did not appear in Russia. And the novel by Eremey Parnov "The Casket of Maria Medici" was published in the USSR, and the hero had a Japanese umbrella THREE ELEPHANTS - the fruit of the author's imagination.
I will especially say about the Japanese company SILM Co., Ltd.
Founder and sole shareholder of SILM Co., Ltd. Japanese Yamagata Hidenori sells nesting dolls, etc. on social networks from his page. The company has zero financial indicators.
The business content of SILM Co., Ltd. says something about umbrellas and three elephants, among other things. In translation:
- Planning the production and sale of a common umbrella.
- Planning and sales of the original brand "Three Elephants (TRI SLONA)"
The THREE ELEPHANTS brand is. But not Japanese. There are both fakes and similar names, so the three-elephant legend works 100%
Check out how expensive the logos are on my umbrella:
And also on the handle:
By the way, very good comfortable handle, pleasant to the touch
I like! The umbrella is clearly good, 10 spokes, with windscreen springs:
So far, only a small snag, after the third opening-closing, my super-automatic machine became a semiautomatic device, it can be closed manually easily, sometimes with difficulty snapping into place. I'm no stranger to my "French", too, always snapped hard, 1000 r. cost a few years ago. And the springs of the windscreen, by the way, did not prevent the spokes from breaking.
At the end of the article there are links confirming the above.
My garden dumka
As soon as the facts about the non-Japanese origin of the TRI ELEPHANT brand surfaced, I thought that in the production and packaging of fertilizers and preparations, similar incidents could be expected, and worse.
If umbrellas require some serious technological lines, then it is not tricky to pack a pacifier-pacifier in a branded bag.
Then I remembered the Indian tea Three Elephants. It was good in Soviet times! What kind of tea dust is being poured into similar boxes now, I don't even want to try.
Oh, we are standing - gardeners on three elephants, as if we are standing!
Counterfeits
I cannot share my personal experience that I came across such a fake. It is only very likely that I did not notice any elephant.
I don’t buy Oktyabrina Aprelevna, thanks that Ivan Russkikh didn’t find live bacteria in her bio preparations. Although it is possible that storage and transportation conditions were violated.
You can touch the umbrella, but with drugs it is a completely dark matter. So only the exchange of sad experience can partially help us, gardeners. Write in the comments if anyone has run into it.
Offhand, I found it on the Internet: there is such a chemical fungicide Infinito, KS, and there is INFINITY - a fake. Please note the color change of the logo:
A blogger colleague discovered fake drugs:
- "Kabriotop", produced by BELREACHIM (it does not manufacture this drug)
- "Cabrio-Top" packaged by Green Belt
- "Grape rescuer" from BelReahit (there is no such company, with the last letter te, but BELREACHIM does not produce this drug)
- "Rescuer of grapes, bushes" from LLC Belrosagroservice (there is not LLC, but SOOO, and at a different address)

Pacifiers
An example of a pseudo-great brand is Biogard against weeds. Why great? The reviews sometimes write that you are selling a fake, complete... (bad word). People thought it was super, of course! Yes, here's a fake.
Allegedly, this patented agricultural miracle was created at the Institute of Agricultural Development, St. Novosibirsk.
There is no such institution in any city in the world. And Biogard is not approved by the Ministry of Agriculture. And he does not distinguish between a good plant or a bad plant at the biological level, etc. All lies.
It is sold on fraudulent one-page websites, Wildberries, Yandex. Market, online pharmacies. The composition in the same packages is slightly different :) The seller did not remember well what was written there in the composition. Prices for an equally useless product are an order of magnitude different, from 99 rubles. up to 599 rub per 100 ml
LLC and TIN differ on different one-page pages, and all are far from this drug. Still incomplete!
So, there is a garage production of fertilizers and preparations for the garden, there are also false preparations, and they are waiting for our revelations.
I would be grateful for your subscription and communication :)
