WHITNEY BROTHERS INTRODUCES NEW INTERACTIVE LEARNING PRODUCT FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION MARKET

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

The Tree! is a palette for children to decorate with fruit and learn about food groups, leaves or snow to learn about seasons, or family pictures to learn about genealogy.

Keene, NH (November 10, 2010) – Whitney Brothers today introduced the Tree!, a new product featuring the image of tree in a birch wood panel that can be decorated for interactive learning in the early education market.

The Tree! incorporates a tree design routered and painted into a laminated, UV-coated birch wood panel. Pre-drilled holes in the corner of each panel enable the product to be mounted on a wall, or an optional stand is available to use the Tree! as a room divider.

The Tree! was previewed November 3-6 at the 2010 NAEYC Show in Anaheim and met with acclaim from resellers and end users. “We’re excited about the Tree! based upon feedback we received from early childhood educators, child care facility directors, and wholesale / reseller buyers who saw it at last week’s NAEYC show in Anaheim,” said David Stabler, president of Whitney Brothers. “We have high expectations for the product, and we believe it’s going to be a winner.”

Suggested list price for the Tree! is $298.00, and the SKU is WB1602. Ordering availability is immediate. The Tree! will also be on display and available for order at the 2010 NSSEA School Equipment Show at the Phoenix Convention Center, November 17 – 19, in the Whitney Brothers exhibit #538.

Carolina Pad’s Ghostline(R) Brand Celebrates 13th Birthday with a Contest

Monday, November 1st, 2010

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 2 — In November, Carolina Pad (www.carolinapad.com), the industry leader in fashion school, office, and organizational products, will celebrate the 13th birthday of the Ghostline® brand. We want you to celebrate with us! For 13 years, Ghostline brand poster, display, and presentation boards have made doing school projects easier and faster. So we’re celebrating by launching “The Ghostline Lucky 13 Birthday Contest” during the month of November. Thirteen lucky classrooms will win $500 worth of Ghostline products.

Before Ghostline was invented, students and their parents had the tedious and time-consuming chore of measuring and drawing faint pencil lines before starting class projects. But 13 years ago, the two Ghostline inventors (one of whom was a teacher) thought of a better way of keeping projects neat and tidy — boards with pre-printed grid lines! Thanks to their idea and Carolina Pad’s production know how, students and teachers can now save time and get great results. Ghostline’s “ghosted” grid lines are easy to see up close, but appear to fade at a distance. The “ghosted” grid eliminates the need to measure and draw lines, no more messy projects.

We invite teachers, parents, and students to join us in celebrating Ghostline’s birthday by telling us why you love these products and how they make your life easier. Every entry means a chance for your class to win $500 worth of Ghostline products. To get more information about Ghostline and to enter “The Ghostline Lucky 13 Birthday Contest,” visit www.carolinapad.com.
