Sent with the usual residential junk-mail from Donneley Marketing,
printed inside the envelope, is a plug ('now you can save hundreds of
dollars with a single phone call!') for Value-Phone.  For only
$1.50/$0.95 for first and following minutes, you can enjoy ``High
Value Savings!''

You must call Value-Phone (TM) to get these offers.  Void where
prohibited by law.  TM--ValuePhone is a trademark of 900 Rebaytes
Inc., NY, NY.

I ought to open a 900-based financial advice line, offering the
wisdom that you can save big money by not calling 900 numbers.
