(PR Wires) DJ: Trim-A-Lawn Receives First Order of Season from Wal-Mart DJ: Trim-A-Lawn Receives First Order of Season from Wal-Mart UTICA, N.Y., April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Trim-A-Lawn Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: TLWN) announced today that it has received for the 1999 season, the first of what is expected to be many orders for the company's walk-behind trimmer from retail giant, Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT) of Bentonville, Ark. This is the initial order for the season with more expected to follow during the next 90 days. Production and delivery will start immediately to selected Wal-Mart distribution centers. From there, Wal-Mart determines how many stores in what quantity receive the trimmers. Trim-A-Lawn's President Dallas Jones commented on the Wal-Mart order stating, "This is our second year building trimmers for Wal-Mart, but it is especially important to note that Wal-Mart has forecast it will order at least three times the number of trimmers ordered last year. We are expecting a strong sell-through during the season." Jones also added, "Our walk behind trimmers and accessories are gaining in acceptance with the homeowner who is looking for a cost-efficient and manageable way to keep their landscapes trimmed. We are very pleased with our progress thus far this year and look for 1999 to be a record year for us."
