I've heard them pronounced both ways, and I think both are acceptable.  One 
way to find out is call the company and see how the answer the phone.  "Good 
Afternoon, Leaky Poles, Inc.!"  Another one for the pronunciation books is 
Appalachian.  Below the Mason-Dixon line it's pronounced Apple Latchun, above 
the Mason-Dixon line, it's Apple Lay shun.
