The included thermal, lockable cover helps retain heat while securing the tub from unauthorized access. TheraPureSpa also makes a variety of innovative accessories to comple- ment the spa line.

For 28 years, Regent Products Corp. has been in the thick of things providing domestic and international retailers with opening price-point Merchandise. "It's what we do; and what we do best," said Mike DePaul, Owner and President of Regent Products Corp. "With over 4,000 items in more than 20 merchandising categories includ- ing seasonal product, it's hard not to find something in our line that a buyer in every category can use in their stores." Regent's customer base includes a solid and growing base of hardware chains and home centers. They have all found that working with Regent Products Corp. gives them the edge they need in a competitive retail envi- ronment. Opening price-point mer- chandise fills a void between in-line programs and promotional merchan- dise without jeopardizing sales. "Most buyers initially think that they're trading dollars," stated Sales Manager Ken Soens. "Then, they real- ize that by offering a lower price- point option it actually increases their overall sales. It gives the customer a choice to purchase something rather than nothing or leaving the store and shopping elsewhere." Soens continued, "Disposable income has shrunk and customers on a fixed income have to make tough decisions everyday on how and where to spend their money. In today's econ- omy, you just can't afford to ignore that important customer base." Regent offers many items in floor and counter displays or on pre-loaded clip-strips for ease of getting product on to the sales floor with little labor. Regent Products Corp. has built a rep- utation on competence and experience and the company is very proud of its national and international reputation.

By John Stouffer, President of Stouffer Technologies, Inc. There is nothing more annoying than listening to mice or rats dig, scratch and run around in the attic while you're trying to sleep. KritterCaps ® , a division of Stouffer Technologies, Inc., will be displaying its new #SCI-354 combination "Corner Insert" for vinyl sided homes which prevents rodents and pests from entering the home through an open corner post. Every vinyl-sided home has corner posts, which, if left open, can give mice, rats, bees, hornets and other pests direct access to the attic. KritterCaps "Corner Insert" will block such intrusions and stay permanently secure without the use of screws or caulk. The #SCI-354 "Corner Insert" is a combination insert that fits 3-inch, 3 ½-inch and 4-inch corner posts. An open corner post is also, an ideal hiding place for chipmunks and ground squirrels that are being chased by a dog. Once the chipmunk is in the corner post, the dog will chew and tear at the corner post causing hundreds of dollars in damages. KritterCaps "Corner Insert" prevent chip- munks and ground squirrels from entering the open corner post saving the home owner the expense of costly repairs.
