A f t e r m a r k e t D a i l y N e w s W e d n e s d a y, N o v e m b e r 4 , 2 0 1 5 9 2 Why? Globally, the light-truck segment in the automotive market has widely out- paced car sales. In 2014 alone, more than1,900,000 pick-up trucks were regis- tered in the United States and more than 400,000 in Canada. Of all those trucks, only 18 percent use an after-market truck cover, leaving a large portion of their bed under utilized. That's where TruXmart comes in. The company wants to go where no ton- neau cover designer has gone before. Its commitment to quality and value through innovation is unrivaled. This vision is further realized through its Worksport label and its Alpha family of products. The company views the low-bed cover market penetration as a huge opportunity for growth. Even with cur- rent numbers, the aftermarket tonneau cover segment is primed to account for a $500 million slice of the pie this year. Want in on the action? A unique opportunity to invest in TruXmart arose earlier this year when it listed publicly in New York using ticker "FNHI." Since its inception in 2011, TruXmart has earned its place in the industry as an innovator. To date, its products include: Smart Roll, Smart Fold, Tri-Fold, Quattro and Forte. From the aircraft-grade aluminum to TruXmart (Cont'd. from p. 1) ease of installation and streamlined stor- age, every one of its products challenges the traditional concept of a tonneau cover. TruXmart's steadily increasing market share and strong reputation for lowering the barrier of entry for truck owners proves that. It's empowered, informed and now able to invest in high quality, innovative products – affordably. That's not how it's always been. Before TruXmart, it was too just too expensive and cumbersome for most truck owners to cover their truck bed properly. Now, with its existing line of products and the new Worksport initia- tive, consumers don't have to sacrifice quality and innovation for an affordable price. All of the existing TruXmart prod- ucts plus the new Worksport Alpha and Alpha Helios are on display during SEMA at booth #34135 in the upper south hall. Both design team and investor relations will be on hand to answer any questions. TruXmart Tonneau Covers and Worksport's parent company are publicly traded as Franchise Holdings International on the OTC exchange in New York using ticker "FNHI."

While the quality of smartphone images is now competi- tive with traditional cameras, the image sizes take up a ton of space, forcing users to scramble for more storage. Even when using external storage like a cloud service, transmission times of large files can be incredibly slow, leav- ing users frustrated. What's a photogra- pher to do? Cram It Accusoft's new mobile image compres- sion application for Android devices, called Cram, is the solution everyday smartphone photographers need. Cram's imaging scientists developed unbeatable, enterprise-level JPEG compression tech- nology that is used in software across multiple industries. Now this powerful image compression is in Cram and avail- able to smartphone photography profes- sionals and amateurs alike. After looking closely at the prob- lems most smartphone users have, Cram was developed to offer a simple, easy-to- use solution for saving space. Maintaining high-fidelity, the app shrinks pictures by 60 percent or more, resulting in two-thirds more space in storage. Users can skip external media cards that are easily lost and move straight to cloud storage or their personal computers. The dramatically smaller file size also empowers faster transmission times, whether transferring to the cloud, emailing or sharing on social media. Users will worry less about skyrocketing data rates since the smaller files will enable them to send more media within their monthly plan limits. Compression Isn't a Dirty Word For a lot of photography professionals, "compression" has a negative connotation attached to it. Haphazard image degrada- tion and pixelated images have left them hesitant to commit to another product. But Cram's compression technology is unmatched in the industry. It retains the resolution, the full display/print dimen- sions, and even the quality. For more information, go to www .accusoft.com.
