Bargain-Hunting Service Launched ) ! By Two Local Men By Peter Parrott Two local entrepreneurs have launched a new service designed to help the consumer get more value for his hard-earned cash. The service is called Dial A , Bargain and has been initiated / by John Veldhuis and Klaus Zulauf. To use this service, clients simply dial 723-4444 and tell the operator what items they are interested in buying! The operator will then give the caller three stores that have the item for sale and will also give the prices they are charging. Mr. Veldhuis explained that there are hundreds of different items to choose from and if an item is not listed in the Dial A Bargain informa- ' lion system, the operator will, call back when information on the request has been located. Mr. Veldhuis said the service, might save as much as 10 to 25 per cent of costs. On some products, the savings could be even higher. The inventors of this service expect that it will be ideal for people who do not have the time required to shop from store to store in search of a bargain. The businessman or merchant merchant can use Dial A Bargain to find out how many people are interested in his products. He can test the market at a remarkably low price and, most important of all, he knows that the people who use this service are serious buyers, Mr. Veldhuis and Mr. Zulauf said. For further information on Dial A Bargain, call 723-4444. Durham West District W.I.
