20 - Sunday. Nov. 29, 1992 - North Shore News 3USINESS BRIEFS TRAVEL POINTS THE CHAIN of Zellers depart- ment stores has now entered into the travel business in a big way. Suri Rattan BUSINESS BRIEFS Zellers has teamed up with the Travelways 2000 group to allow customers to use their Zellers Club Z points to reduce travel costs. Customers wha do not have Club Z points can accumulate points by booking their travel! through Ciab Z Travel, an arm of Travelways 2000. Michael Coates, Club Z Travel operations manager for the western region and who is based in the Zellers store at the Lynn Valiley Centre, said Travelways 2000 was the supplier for all the catalogue Club Z gifts offered by Zellers. He added that Zellers was try- ing to improve their catalogue of gifts two years ago and decided to put in a page of travel options which mainly involved tsips to the Caribbean. But Zellers did not know any- thing about the travel business so it approached Travelways 2006 and as a result Club Z Travel of- fices were added to Zellers stores. “It took off like a house on fire. We hope to have 170 travel offices in the next two years,’’ said Coates. ‘‘We will meet or match the lowest advertised travel price.”’ A total of 23 Club Z offices are open across Canada at the present time and all are located inside Zellers stores. “*We anticipate being one of the major players in the travel in- dustry. It’s a new wrinkle in mar- keting,’’ said Coates.

HAMMOCK NEWS SHOPPERS WALKING through the Lyan Valley Centre in North Vancouver should not be surprised to see a man resting comfortably on a hammock. That would only be David Fairley, the self-described hari- mock king. And while it may look as if he is lying down on the job, Fairley is actually hard at work. “Selling colorful handwoven hammocks requires a unique ap- proach,” said Fairley, who has been importing and selling his products under the trade name Hang-Ups for two yeers. Me added that continuous demonstrations are needed to market his product praperly. “Um lying down selling half the time, though ic isn't long before curious passers-by are enticed into atest drive,”’ said Fairley. He describes his hammocks as ‘‘dangerously comfortable’’ because they are a soft pliable web made of cotton string and provide deep relaxation and create a sense of weightlessness. He discovered the hammocks while touring Central America in 1990 and now markets through his company Fargo Inter- national. He is currently demonstratiag his product at the Lynn Valiey Centre. goverament coupon Now is the time to toke adivaxtege of high coupon rates for your 1993 RGR, ov for sour cash accomnt. know whet your iavestment will be worth al asiurity.
