Coconino's Ad-HaTTeRs Joins Forces With Industry Leader to Stock Shelves of Sears' Western Auto Stores CENTENNIAL PARK, Ariz., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Coconino SMA, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CSMA - news) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ad-HaTTeRs, Inc. has reached a co-marketing and distribution agreement with an undisclosed major air freshener company that leads the market in the manufacture, sale, and distribution of automotive air freshener products. Approximately 33,000 of Ad-HaTTeRs' ''cowboy hat'' air fresheners have been ordered initially to stock the entire national chain of some 450 Western Auto stores operated by the Western Auto Supply Co., including 30+ stores in Puerto Rico. An additional 900 franchised Western Auto ''associate'' stores will be offered a plan-a-gram for Ad-HaTTeRs' products. ''This new marketing partnership is a tremendous achievement for Ad- HaTTeRs,'' according to David Timpson, Ad-HaTTeRs' president, ''It is the result of several months of discussion and planning, and the enthusiastic response Ad-HaTTeRs received at the recent AAIW tradeshow trade show in Las Vegas.'' [See previous Coconino release, November 15, 1997]. ''Dennis Stilwell, our national marketing executive, worked closely with the other company's sales staff to accommodate their needs, as well as provide Western Auto with highly attractive air fresheners for its in-store displays. We look forward to a strengthening and mutually-rewarding relationship with this company and its vendors.'' Distribution through this major air freshener supplier opens many doors for Ad-HaTTeRs' products because they can provide Ad-HaTTeRs with one of the largest domestic distribution channels for this type of product. Further information about the details of the agreement between Ad-HaTTeRs and this major air freshener company will be disclosed at a later date. Western Auto Supply Co. -- a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sears, Roebuck & Co. (NYSE: S - news) and a part of the Sears Automotive group -- operates 450 Western Auto company-owned stores and 900 Western Auto associate stores from its headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri.
