Mason Contractors E3 and L Builders of New Construction and Remodeling CONSTRUCTION COMPANY PHONE 409-R > BOB PEPPING LEO KRABBENHOFT Monk McCarthy's almost as good at publicity stunts as he is at servicing and repairing ears--- which is pretty darned good. His latest gimmick is a handbill titled: "DO-IT-YOURSELFERS! Why Not Grease Your Own Car?" Then he follows with two paragraphs about all the greases you'll need-the full set of wrenches, spray gun, grease gun, four jacks --the ability to work flat on your back with a face full of goo. And at the very end there's this line: "Or, if that's too much trouble, we'll do the job for 754." From where I sit, IH have to admit Monk's schemes attract attention. They often secun farfetched to me, but he and^I always had different opinions on how to run k business--just as we have different opinions about what's the best beverage. He likes hot tea--I prefer a glass of beer--which doesn't keep Us from having a "smooth-running" friendship.
