COMPUTER WINNER

STRACHAN COMPUTERS,
with outlets in North Vancouver,
West Vancouver and Coquitlam,
recently awarded a free Laser
PAL 286 computer system to
Burnaby resident Ray Boisvert,
who had entered a draw at the
Pacific Rim Computer and Com-
munications Show.

The PAL 286 is billed as an ex-
cellent system for the user who
desires a full-featured, powerful,
easy-io-use package with power to
expand into the future.

ft inciudes a 286 CPU, 40MB
hard drive, both 5.25 inch and 3.5
inch high-density floppy drives
plus a VGA color monitor. In ad-
dition, the package contains a
three-button mouse, Geoworks
Ensemble software and an in-
stallation video tape.

NEW COMPANY

WEST VANCOUVER-based
Power Model Placement is now
working as a liaison between
North American models and their
agencies and Japanese agencies
based in Tokyo and Osaka.

Power Model Placement makes
trips to Japan to promote a select
group of models using video
tapes, mini-books and 35
millimetre photographs.

**Our recent experience working
with Japanese agents has shown
that promoting models by sending

packages alone is no longer effec-.

tive,’’ said co-managing director
Tiffany Price. ‘‘Japanese agents
are apprehensive about accepting
models after having seen a mini
book alone. Power is set up to
give personalized representation."

Power signs the model up at a
fee of five per cent of the model’s
gross earnings on the initial con-
tact. Power then pays the parent
vagent three per cent of the
model’s gross earnings.

The agents Power deals with in
Japan are contacts the company
has made from modeling in Japan
for eight years, and the company
recently completed a successful
trip to Tokyo representing models
of such Vancouver agencies a5
Carol Jackson, Ze Models and
Kirk Talent.

Another trip is planned for
February.
