APC reorganizes for long-term sales growth.

Effective August 1, 2008, APC is reorganizing its corporate management structure to enhance long-term sales growth. The nature of the change is to segment the company into "Business Development Units," better known as divisions. These three new smaller sales and marketing groups with P&L responsibility will be fleet-footed and more focused. They're intended to bring fresh energy, vision, ownership, and urgency to the development of business opportunities in each market segment. This is a time-tested strategy for growth companies. The three key people tapped for this responsibility--and their respective divisions--are as follows:

Tom Fredericks -- Vice President Electrical Sales Division
Win Miller -- Vice President Telcom Sales Division
Charlie Cole -- Vice President International Sales Division

Regardless of how the structure is sliced or diced, all of APC's employee-owners work ceaselessly for the common good of its agents, customers, and the wise and beneficent ESOP trustees.

Polywater display racks boost impulse sales.

The phrase, "Nice rack," can have several meanings. A hunter might say it to a fellow hunter to compliment his trophy deer. A gun enthusiast might say it about the ease of loading a bullet into the chamber of a semi-automatic pistol. The patron of a fine restaurant might say it to the waiter as he delivers a steaming pile of lamb. And Wade LeVander might say it to a waitress, whether or not she's serving lamb--but that's another matter. Jeff Ericson, however, uses it to describe the fine work of his new Contractor & Industrial reps in Southern California, Empire Sales, who have done a great job of getting point-of-purchase displays of Polywater products established at distributor locations in their territory. POP's are an excellent way to boost sales of existing products and to pique interest in new ones. All reps are encouraged to follow Empire's lead and "rack 'em up."

The Friday Fax Editor's Joke of the Week

The Joke

Dear Abby. I have never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs; phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with "the girls" a lot recently, although when I ask their names she always says, "just some friends from work; you don't know them." I always try to stay awake to look out for her coming home, but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to check on her ... finally. Around midnight, I decided to hide in the garage behind my golf clubs so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with "the girls." When she got out of the car she was buttoning up her blouse, which was open, and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on. It was at that moment, crouching behind my golf clubs, that I noticed a hairline crack where the grip meets the graphite shaft on my 3-wood. Is this something I can or should try to fix myself, or should I take it back to the pro-shop where I bought it and try to get a refund?
