SAN DIEGO, Nov 20, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The Majestic Companies, Ltd.
(OTC Bulletin Board: MJXC), announced that the United States Marine Corps has
agreed to begin sponsoring Majestic's SAFE-T-BAR(TM) in school buses in their
recruiting area of the Pacific Northwest.
 
Majestic's Corporate America Program, run by International Marketing
Corporation, was developed to identify corporate sponsors to provide funding to
school districts to offset the cost of the installation of the SAFE-T-BAR. The
Program has been further clarified under the "Adopt-A-Bus" Program, whereby
corporate sponsors place a placard onto buses that are outfitted with
SAFE-T-BAR's. "We see this as just the beginning," said Mark Van Buskirk,
President of International Marketing Corporation, "the Marines are traditionally
identified as the troops most willing to be sent in first. We are pleased that
they are continuing in that tradition. We are, however, in conversations with
the other branches of the military and do believe that they might be following
very closely behind."
 
"We are tremendously enthusiastic at the prospects from this Program. We are
encouraged that the other corporations that International Marketing is currently
negotiating with will become new sponsors," said Steve Rosenthal, President of
Majestic Transportation. "It appears that this is the beginning of the
Adopt-A-Bus Program being accepted across the country with open arms. It really
is a 'win-win-win' program. The Corporate America sponsors wins, the school
district wins, and the kids win."
 
The company anticipates that the Adopt-A-Bus Program will promote sales and
overall market awareness of the SAFE-T-BAR. "As with any new product, the
SAFE-T-BAR has an entry level barrier that it must break through. The Corporate
America Program is our 'ground breaking' tool," continued Rosenthal. "We trust
that with this continued and specific approach to marketing the SAFE-T-BAR, it
may only be a matter of time before we begin to see school districts across
America installing the SAFE-T-BAR in school buses in an effort to protect our
children."
