Although bartering is an old idea, it is
coming ‘back with a new twist. In recent
years, hundreds of barter clubs have started
in.the U.S. and are now spreading.to Canada.
Companies as well as individuals take part.
For instance, you could trade a weekend’s
worth of painting porches to build up trade
credits to have your kid’s teeth fixed: for
more information, see Vancouver Sun,
Saturday, December 5.

cash.

The idea definitely has
ment. I would like to
know more about it| The
first thing that comes to
my mind ts that it might
be hard for people to
contribute cnough = of
their services to pay for
what they ect
