Advertising is a form of indoctrinization.  Works great.  We "used" that 
auto-memory from advertising indoctrinization to promote DH's landscaping 
business.  When we went to the SBA about funding, the guy rolled his eyes. 
When he came back with some forms, he was, hmmmm, shall we say exhibiting 
the results of indoctrinization. <g>

DH's landscaping business was "Frank's For the Memories"  Everyone hum along 
<g>

So, on the card I used a film strip and "for a picture perfect yard and 
garden."  No one who every saw one of his cards forgot and we got calls from 
people who had seen the card months and a couple who had seen it years 
before!
