prospecting for customers

[William R. Monroe]

David,

Madison, WI area.  I advertise in the SBC pages here - the big one.  There
are other smaller yp's too, but this one has the highest circulation in the
area.  Never been questioned about my line.  Now, though I have no trouble
advertising in the YP, I do not get the business listing in the business
white pages - need a business line for that.

Regards,
William R. Monroe
