They might - the one in my area will. Probably depends on the company. If it's another "yellow book," I bet they won't care a whit. Marshall, do you have business cards printed up? If not, you should. Start passing them out to music stores and churches. Put them on the bulletin boards at your local library. Everywhere! Business cards are cheap.

I'm hoping that they'll let me advertise since I only use my cell phone. I don't see the need for a lan line. We used to have a weekly like that, but it went out of business, The Penny Saver I think it 's called. Im going to keep checking. I appreciate the ideas a great deal. I'll let you know what I came up with.
