added four new doctors. As a result,
the hospital has to expand.
Over the past couple of years, the
Perry Hospital has developed a five
step plan to alleviate crowding.
Phases 1-3 are completed, while
phase four and phase five should be
completed in the near future.
Before the five part plan was
adopted, the hospital had already
added a new emergency room and
Intensive Care Unit. Both the
emergency room and ICU additions

SELLING YOUR HOUSE
By Judy
pP B #! YOUR
FRIENDS
The very best advertising, for any busi
ness, is word of mouth, the reported experi
ence of people you trust, the opinion of a
satisfied customer telling a friend.
Thai’s the "advertising" that we've found
most effective over the years. We buy it not
with dollars but in good service given our
clients. Ask your friends and neighbors how
we performed for them.
Most people are interested in results, so
you'll hear mostly about the good price we
helped someone get, and how quickly the sale
went through. Some folks will remark on the
hassle-free ease of working with us, how we
kept them informed when prospects were
interested.
They may not remember what went into
the marketing plan: the careful consideration
of price, the helpful ideas about getting the
house ready forvisitors, the ads that attracted
prospective buyers, the effective way we
showed the house and sold it, our experienced
help in negotiating and making closing go
more smoothly.
Here's wishing you the best New Year
ever. Happy 1993 from your friends at
