Thanks Phil for this info. Knowing something(very little some might say) about the publishing business, the placement of these ads are very advantageous for readers. They cost more but research shows they are more effective in this media.

It is obvious that PM is making a big effort to dominate the mail-order supply market for diabetics.Growing pains are "tuff" in the short-term, but long term with a good marketing effort, results should be positive.

I/We should always as investors in this stock, keep in mind that this growing customer list is a valuable asset for a growing market place that utilizes the non-traditional way of shopping. I find myself doing more of my shopping by mail...Land's End and even computers. Now if I could only keep my wife and daughter out of the MALLS.(:>)

You mentioned that there were ads for other "similar vendors":

>>There are a number of other (mostly full page) ads for similar vendors, all later in the
magazine than Liberty. One is on page 42, and the other 8 are all bundled in the
magazine's "Shoppers Guide". Only three of these 9 ads mention the non-insulin
dependent issue directly or indirectly.

Who are the other vendors?
