           (Search for "Cotter and ServiStar" on this page for the story)
=========================================================================
Chicago and Butler, Pa. - Dec. 10, 1996 - The future of dealer-owned 
cooperatives Cotter & Co. and ServiStar Coast to Coast is now in their 
members' hands.

On Dec. 10, 1996, 10,500 dealers affiliated with those companies received 
a detailed package of information explaining the specifics of a merger 
between the industry's first- and third-largest dealer-owned buying groups, 
which was approved by each co-op's board of directors on Monday, 12-9-96.

If approved by the majority of dealers, the merged company will be called 
TruServ Inc., with 10,500 dealer-members and sales to those dealers 
exceeding $4.5 billion. The deal, which would take the form of a buyout by 
Cotter of ServiStar's stock, could be completed by July 1, 1997.

~ GECOMA - SPECIALTY CONCRETE PREFABS: http://itre.com/gecoma
   Posted by Michele Bassan: bassan.michele@intercity.shiny.it
==============================================================
Ordering concrete prefabs over the net is not everyday's experience. With 
GECOMA's products, things might change...

GECOMA has developed specialty prefabs, designed and brought to perfection 
in several years, taking into account production, delivery and installation 
issues. In short we offer:
- Concrete prefab for river banks protection, designed to be 
  environmentally friendly, extremely effective, and cheap to produce and 
  install; approved, used and endorsed by several public transportation 
  authorities in Italy (railways, highways); the patented name of the 
  product is "Bank Shield"
- Concrete prefab modular element for cemeterial buildings, the "Loculi 
  Block"

Of course exporting concrete prefabs from Italy is not economically sound, 
but technology transfer agreements are your fast route to exploit the 
results of our 20+ years experience.
