It's a common fact. A friend in the right place has its advantages. Saves time and effort, even money from time to time. Yes, there is nothing quite like a friend in the right place. At least, I like to think so. Hi, my name is Brian Warrilow In case we have yet to meet, I'm the proprietor of Garb and Gear Sport Shop out at Suncoast Mall. Over the last eight months I have constantly met 'people I really like. And I hope you'll agree that each time we met I did my best to install some trust and friendship into our brief relationship. There's a reason for it .. . I'm here to help. That's my number 1 concern. As a friend, I can best supply what you need. I may suggest a more expensive item, but I may also suggest a less expensive one too. I have the product knowledge, but you know your personal needs. Only together can we fill the bill best.' Oh Yes! It's nice to have a friend in the right place. I'd like to be our friend in a 'sporting goods' place. That way, we'll both benefit rom it. At least, I like to think so. y Come in - Let§ be friends.

NOMINATIONS FOR JUBILEE 3 QUEEN I Call 3 HOUR 'SERVICE REPAIRS ALTAAND ATIONS 524-6231 My complaint is with a specialty gift company, The TREASURE CHEST of Outremont, Quebec. On December 8th last year I ordered a cane seat, and mailed a money order for 526.38. In early January I was informed that they were temporarily out of stock, but would "ship soon." On March 26th 1 wrote and told them to refund my money if the seat was still out of stock. Imagine my surprise when my letter was returned un- opened, and stamped, "FAILLITE, RETURN TO SENDER." What is my next move? Unfortunately this company has declared bankruptcy hence -they are no longer in business, so it would appear that you have lost your money as the amount involved is too small to try and recover through the courts. call BILL MELICK at your COLLISION REPAIR CENTRE SOUTH END BODY . .` \h���tt1'�t/�/'%fes Al In e"e4 •, (cl 524-9181 BAYFIELD RD.

They've had it there since last October for repairs and I'm still awaiting its return. To add to my frustration, two letters I've written making inquiries have been completely ignored. Hope you can help as my Bost is not too understnding when I'm late for work. The Illinois firm claim that your alarm was sent to you on January 14th and are baffled at its non-appearance. They are now checking with the Post Offices involved and if they can't locate it have promised to send you on a brand new model.
