Hi Allen, Scotts Liquid Gold produces AHA "RED BOX" advertisements

Bill Driscoll addressed your questions and look forward to your interest in SGD (NYSE). Here is SGD's info site:

businesswire.com

Scotts is a muti-product consumer company, smaller than , but similar to Dial (DL) and Chattem (CHTT) . From '94 to '96 SGD's sales grew rapidly due to its AHA products.

In '96 SGD's AHA sales fell and a EPA lawsuit caused it to divert funds away from advertising to settling the suit.

SGD recovered and learned . In 4Q97 when sales softened SGD stepped up and advertised heavily , so early 1Q98 sales look terrific .

SGD in '97 had sales of $50 mln but 4Q contributed only $10 mln of it yet 4Q produced $3,9 mln in cash due to non-recurring income items.

SGD saw 4Q97's downturn early and used its cash to advertise . SGD has successfully defended its name and product names in court .

Hope this helps,
Jim K.
