An idea popped out of the 3 May 1990 FIGGY BAR and I am kicking myself *HARD*
for not forwarding this suggestion before.
  It was suggested that Forth vendors insert a FIG brochure
  with their product. I did this VERY THING when HAWG WILD was
  still a part of my life abd was informed by FIG office staff
  it had resulted in inquiries and memberships. If a litle
  operation like mine could generate FIG memberships just think
  what a few 'real' vendors could do !!!!
  Jax (Vesta) was asked if Vesta did this. He replied that FIG
  had never asked, but SigForth ACM had; and Vesta did include
  a SigForth flier.
  Sooooo - I'm brushing the dust off an old idea (and some 
  stupid off my brain) and recommending FIG approach Forth
  vendors, and ask if they would be so kind as to include a
  FIG flier (get real here, no one will agree to more than a
  one page blurb/application), and if the vendor is agreeable
  for FIG to supply as many of said fliers as the vendor can/will
  distribute.
