- Yes that item was made by Dennison. I still have one.
- I demonstrated the item at A&S Department store in Brooklyn, NY in
- 1968.
-
- While working as a demonstrator in the store, I met a customer who I
- married in 1969. We are still married.
-
- You may want to try 800-555-1212 to locate Denisson.

- Over a period of many years the plastic fasteners do tend to
- detriorate in strength.
-
- I work freelance as a performer (actor, MC, pitchman, etc.) and now
- 23 years later I find myself pitching a roach killer within 100 feet
- of the same A&S
