Here in Pensacola we have two "yellow pages", the "real" one and the
"talking phone book".
We went round with the "talking" book.
As an ASC for Thomson, we wanted to put "proscan" in our add, and they
refused because it was copywrited. The GE logo and RCA logo were ok,
but we had to show them our contract.
There is another shop down the street, not an ASC for anyone. In the
same phone book they let him put lots of logos.
