    What can you do for a distributor
    that doesn't have 2 million? I have some 40 years in ad specialty sales, part time. I have lived in Austin, TX in my younger days. I was a Banker on 6th & Colorado St. That bank name has changed. I was a teller at American National Bank worked last two years in Computer operation. Started in 1965, I use to watch this specialty ad salesman sell my boss some franchise Ritepoint, pens Factory in Mo. This man that sold him pens would only sell him 500. This man didn't know how many accounts this bank had. They had some 50,000. I said to myself, I could sell better then this guy and located a distributor on my own. Sold the Bank were I worked 5,000 pens in split shipment of 2,500 pens every six months. Then sold them 50,000 pocket calendars- That Company was Alert Advertising Company. I think the owner past away, his son took over business, Carl Schulz was his name. He was a great man to do business with! I been this business about forty years as a distributor now. Still looking for a job but no body will hire me at 69
    years of age. Ha' So i hired myself. HA!
