Hey Double E, It is great to hear from you. Don't be a stranger to this thread. I have a feeling we will have some more company in the weeks ahead. Check this out which I copied from the Luxor website: April 1, 1998 Snavely Forest Product's Initial Order of IBS 2000r Reaches Lowe's Retail Yard...Immediately Resulting in Unprecedented Retail Sales Luxor Industrial Corporation is pleased to announce that the first shipment of IBS 2000r units to Snavely Forest Products in Baltimore has resulted in immediate unprecedented retail sales. In addition to the 8,280 unit order for engineered joists referenced in Luxor's press release dated February 9, 1998, Luxor has already shipped an additional 5,000 IBS 2000r units to Snavely for application with conventional lumber. Lowe's, one of the largest building materials retailers in the United States, second only to Home Depot, is featuring the IBS 2000r product at Maryland's largest builder's show, Builder Mart '98 on April 2, 1998 in Baltimore, as well as, at an Open House at Lowe's retail outlet, The Contractor Yard, in Frederick, Maryland on April 17, 1998. In March 1998, prior to the building show's exposure and the Contractor Yard's Open House, Snavely and their retail accounts already confirmed in excess of two dozen separate retail IBS 2000r orders with installations having been completed with some of the areas largest builders. In a product bulletin mailed to over 5,000 customers, Lowe's stated: "Rarely in this business are we able to announce a genuine new product. Most products today are improved, redesigned or redressed.but not new. This is not so with the IBS 2000r. IBS 2000r is a load sharing floorsystem that is like no other product in the market. Not only does it greatly improve your floor system, .it saves money" With the distribution system currently in place, Luxor Industrial Corporation is focusing on increasing end user sales. The Company expects to disseminate further sales information in the near future. For further information contact Budd Iwaschuk at (604) 684-7929 or (800) 665-2454, or visit our web page at www.luxorcorp.com. ***************************************************************** Double E, For your information, the letter "r" that follows references to the IBS 2000 is because my webbrowser doesn't support the patent(trademark) sign which is an "r" with a circle around it. Hope you enjoyed this news release as much as I did. Rick
