<html><body> <DIV>Greg,</DIV> <DIV>That's a neat idea.  What section of the paper did you find this information?  I like that idea.  Thanks for mentioning it. </DIV> <DIV>Marshall</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">-------------- Original message -------------- From: Greg Newell <gnewell@ameritech.net> Marshall, <X-TAB>        </X-TAB>The mailing to churches could be a benefit to you but did you ever think about people who just moved into your area? Real estate transfers are public knowledge. I used to blanket mail those transfers that were reported in our Sunday paper. You might think about giving that a try. best Greg At 09:13 PM 2/2/2006, you wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite">Hi Dean, I know this isn't related to piano moving, well it could be when one gets a customer.  I'm putting together a data base of churches to mail for a post card mailing.  What online source do you use to gather addresses, yellow book, superpages etc?  Thanks Dean.

I was talking with the owner, who was praising <DD>> their work, and he mentioned they don't use a skidboard when moving a <DD>> grand piano.They wrap it in blankets, and put a canvas cover made for a <DD>> grand on it, and straight to the dolly. <DD>> I don't want to come in and change their technique that has worked for <DD>> years with them, but I have been moving piano's for years as well, and <DD>> can't imagine not using a skidboard. I was wondering if anyone else on <DD>> the list had used this same technique. <DD>> Best, <DD>> Hazen Bannister <DD>> <DD>> _______________________________________________ <DD>> Pianotech list info: <A href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives" eudora="autourl">https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</A> <DD>> <DD>> _______________________________________________ <DD>> Pianotech list info: <A href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives" eudora="autourl">https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</A> </DD></DL></BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE></body></html>
