We are all “selective” consumers
of goods and services in the
American economy. In our lives,
we buy the popular products of
American companies such as Coca-
Cola, McDonald’s, Intel, Mobil Oil
and hundreds of other well known
companies. Many of the products
we purchase from these companies
are essential to our lives—and the
companies who produce them con­
tinue to grow and become more
profitable as th eir m arket and
sales grow! A good number of these
companies are “publicly-traded”
and offer individuals the opportu­
nity to purchase stock. As an indi­
vidual investor and share-owner,
you can receive financial benefits
from a stock’s growth and prof­
itability by buying stock in the
company you choose.

al organization, can help you learn

New Wireless Rates
Announced
No more confusing claims, no
more hassles. Wireless customers can
ignore the jungle of advertised pro­
motions out there thanks to AT&T
Wireless' new Digital PCS consumer
and business rates effective in nine
Western states beginning Thursday,
January 15.
The new rates represent a shift in
AT&T Wireless' strategy to distin­
guish itself not only on service qual­
ity and coverage but also on price,
simplicity and flexibility. Individu­
als, small businesses and corpora­
tions will benefit from increased in­
cluded minutes; incoming call dis­
counts; lower off-peak calling rates;
a lower, fiat long-distance rate’ ver­
satile billing options’ and nine free
local calling days.
“To succeed in this industry, you
must be a company that not only wins
customers, but keeps them." said Neil
Grubb, general manager for AT&T
Wireless in Oregon and Southwest
Washington. “We’re doing that by
steering away from short-term pro­
motions and concentrating on what
will make customers want to stay
with AT&T in the long run.”
For example, the small business
customer, generally a company with
anywhere from two - 20 phones or
using 500 airtime minutes or more a
month, will benefit from several sig­
nificant changes:
In c o m in g C all D is c o u n ts :
Small business custom ers who
have been reluctant to give out
their cellu lar phone num ber will
do so more freely, knowing that
the entire length o f an incom ing
call is billed at half the normal
rate.
A Lower, Flat, Long-D istance
Rate: If a c u sto m e r ch o o se s
AT&T as their w ireless lo n g-dis­
tance carrier, all long-distance
calls will be billed at only 15
cents per minute.
Current AT&T Digital PCS cus­
tomers will see automatic changes
beginning with the first invoice they
receive on or after January 15. Small
Business Plans will be available as of
January 21. Corporate Plans will be
available in February.
