Helen, come and look at this.
Oh, is this the new catalogue?
Yes, it is. I had a design by an advertising agency this year.
It’s beautiful. I love the colors. It’s certainly going to make everybody take notice about our products.
Well, I think they did a good job. I’m going to get several thousand extra copies printed for the Expo that is coming up this spring.
I’m sure we can use them at the Expo. But do we have enough money in the budget for them?
No, but I think I can get the finance office to approve our budget supplement.
When they see this, they’ll certainly be impressed. Are you going to be able to get all the colors we produced?
Oh yes, it wouldn’t be nearly as effective without them.
When will it be ready? Are you going to have it in time?
I’m going to see Mrs. Carter in the finance office this afternoon. If she says we can go over the budget, I’ll get the catalogue printed right away. They’ll be ready in a couple of days.
You have to mail most of those to our regular customers, won’t you?
We’ll need a lot of them for the mailing, but there’ll be enough left for you to give out at the Expo.
I hope so, because this catalogue is a real eye-catcher.
But don’t worry about it. I’m sure I can make Mrs. Carter see why we need a little more money for the extra copies.
I think anyone will be able to see what a wonderful catalogue this is.
