C o n v e n i e n c e R e t a i l e r S h o w D a i l y S u n d a y, O c t o b e r 1 3 , 2 0 1 3 2 0 BACON RULES AT MONOGRAM FOODS Bacon appears to be the one thing that the American consumer cannot do without. It's been around since the beginning of time, but never has it been included in so many food products as today. Bacon is everywhere, from being included in Denny's and Burger King's ice cream sun- daes to peanut brittle and even craft beers. Another hot trend this year is maple— maple is kicking up the flavor profile of food and beverages across America. From down-home to gourmet, maple's rich caramelized sweetness is exploding past the breakfast table and appearing on menus in every day parts, from burgers to bourbon. Monogram Foods introduces its new Sweet Maple Glazed Bacon Jerky. From the aroma that hits you the minute you open the bag to the last bite, it is really good. Made from slices of 100 percent real maple-cured bacon, the bacon jerky is cooked to perfection, and then maple- glazed for a taste that is positively addict- ing. This product is a flavor marriage of the two of the hottest trends in food, plus it has 45 percent less fat than USDA data for pan-fried bacon. "Sweet and savory is the current trend in flavors these days," says Catherine Armstrong, Vice President of Corporate Communications at Comax Flavors in Melville, N.Y. "Consumers continue to seek out interesting and contemporary taste fusions." Monogram Food's Bacon Jerky products are fast becoming a top velocity product at key retailers, with each new variety proving to add variety, not dupli- cation, to grow category sales and prof- its. Sold under the Johnsonville, Wild Bill's, Trail's Best and Bass Pro brands, bacon jerky products are flying off the shelves in retailers across America. All of Monogram Foods' bacon jerky varieties start with hickory or apple-wood smoked real bacon, cut into thick, hearty bite-sized pieces. They're the perfect snack to go anywhere, from back pack to ball park, from gym bag to lunch box. Finally, a snack that capitalizes on the universal love of bacon! Monogram offers Bacon Jerky in a variety of caddies, shippers, power-wings and clip strip merchandising options.

The Cold Door 2 is the next generation in vertical refrigeration lighting. Designed with superior light color rendering and dispersion, Cold Door 2 brings out the vivid colors of your prod- ucts. Packaged food, beverages and dairy displays are filled with brilliant, uniform light that invites shoppers to engage and buy. SloanLED also offers several color temperature accommodate preferences and match store lighting. Fluorescent and other LED light- ing systems direct a large amount of light near the edges of the door (behind the mullions). This increases the differ- ence between the amounts of light at the center compared with the edges, often referred to as "contrast ratio." A high contrast ratio causes the human eye to perceive the section down the middle to be darker as it adjusts to the intensity of the light on the edges. SloanLED's opti- cally engineered lenses direct the light across narrow shelf depths while concealing the light source. Energy efficiency is also an important consideration. Cold Door 2 requires only one power supply for a typical 5-door frame and saves up to 85 percent of the energy consumed by fluorescent fixtures! It is is also cool to the touch and reduces the refrigeration heat load for increased energy savings. About SloanLED The SloanLED Company was founded in 1957 to design and develop high-reliability lighting prod- ucts. The company is a leader in the development and appli- cation of Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology, serving customers in many commer- cial, architectural and industri- al industries. SloanLED is ded- icated to providing the best LEDs and support, including some of the industry's strongest warranties, superior technical assistance and unparalleled customer service. The company is head- quartered in Ventura, Calif., and services its European customers from an office in The Netherlands. More information can be found at booth 5041 and online at www.sloanled.com. DEWEY COMMERCIAL SERVICES: OPERATING IN THE CALIFORNIA MARKET SINCE 1929 By Harry Meijer, Regional Sales Manager, Dewey Commercial Pest Services You may ask yourself, why haven't I heard of Dewey before? It is remarkable without the advertising used and spent by our com- petitors that a family-owned company could grow to this capacity. However, one needs to consider that advertising cost is passed on to your service bill, no matter how catchy or cute it may be. Without massive advertising campaigns, Dewey Commercial Services has been built on service reputation.

Dewey Commercial Services still retains a local office staff in all 32 offices it operates to receive your calls and respond when need- ed. It has been a popular move by other providers to go with national call centers that don't know you or your business, so don't settle with being put on hold by strangers. Call Dewey: we care and our growth proves it. If you're worried about qualifications, don't be. Dewey Commercial Services provides every aspect of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the industry.
