Small Colorado Company Unveils Y2K-Ready Device
News Writers
WESTCLIFFE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 1999--With the
Year 2000 - Y2K - and its potential computer glitches threatening to
disrupt even basic services, businesses are actively seeking ways to
assure that the millennium bug has as little impact as possible on
their customers' daily lives by making computers and products Y2K
compliant.
Customers of PHR Systems are among those who don't have to worry
about Y2K disrupting their use of the company's personal grooming
product: the Groom Mate nose hair trimmer. The innovative gadget works
without electricity keeping it fully operable throughout the new
millennium. As an added plus, the manually-operated trimmer works
without batteries, relying only on the user's dexterity to turn its
rotary handle and gently trim away unsightly nose or ear hair.
Customers planning to celebrate the arrival of the 21st century
sailing across the International Dateline on a cruise ship, drinking a
champagne toast aboard the Orient Express, or traveling to other
favored destinations will also appreciate Groom Mate's compact size
when it comes time to pack for the trip - only 2 1/2 inches long and
one half inch in diameter.
Besides its compact size and battery-free operation, Groom Mate's
other features include a lifetime guarantee; a retail price of only
$7.95; rust proof rotary blades; and a micro-scissor process.
Situated in Southern Colorado in the tiny town of Westcliffe, PHR
Systems maintains an assembly and packaging facility from where its
employees look out at the 14,000 foot high snow-capped peaks of the
rugged Sangre de Cristo mountains. In an area of the state where
ranching dominates the economy, PHR Systems stands out as one of only
a handful of small manufacturing companies in the entire region.
PHR prides itself on being the leading manufacturer of
battery-free nose hair trimmers in the world; and since it began
producing Groom Mates in 1991, this small, enterprising company has
seen its sales climb to more than one-half million units. Groom Mates
are available in grocery stores, drug stores, beauty supply stores,
department stores, and cutlery shops across the country.
