Show Bifs and Pieces By Eleanor Bennett A few weeks ago I wrote about C-ive-Aways and Gimmicks and so the other day when I received re-ceived some literature in the mail from a new land development develop-ment company with seemingly glowing statements about what could be mine if I'd journey to their project and allow them to show me their 'wares." I read every word big print and fine printand because it was not too far I decided I'd take them up on their offer! Six miles east of Heber City is Timber Lakes, they said, and if I'd come over there they'd pay me $6.00 for coming; com-ing; if I'd come on a week-day I'd also receive "absolutely free" a 17 piece cutlery set of stainless steel with rosewood handles. And that wasn't all! No sir! I had DEFINITELY won a prize which would be awarded when I came. So over I went and was greeted greet-ed by a pleasnt young lady who would register me while I enjoyed en-joyed asparklingcoldrootbeer. A very attractive young gentleman gentle-man then came, introduced himself him-self and took me on a tour of the development in his jeep. It took about 15 minutes and upon arriving back at the point of departure, he handed me a check for $6.00 made out to my order, a box containing the 17 piece cutlery set, and then checked the master sheet for my prize. On a pre-determinedlist I had won Series F which was four days and three nights accommodations ac-commodations at a very swanky country club on the Gulf of Mexico in Florida! So . . . even though I won't be able to use my prize (no travel allowance was included), : I DID get the promised $6.00, I DID get the cutlery set and I was really most impressed with Timber Lakes and Steve Rob-ison. Rob-ison. It's 9,000 acres of beautiful beau-tiful Utah mountain land, sold by the acre for homesites. It is scheduled to be a private enterprise enter-prise with a gatehouse staffed by guards. The country club is being built, there will be swimming pools and stables, the view is panoramic from any angle and by a year from now utilities will be in and all roads in fine condition. (They areamax-ingly areamax-ingly good right now.) This was a good example of re-affirming my faith in 'new enterprise"! And I learned, too, that there are giveaways and gimmicks that really pay off! |
