    Wouldn't you be delighted. First day at work at Waterman as new sales representative, your area is France.

    Who needs GPS when you have a big bottle of ink bolted on your car to mark the routes.

    The Waterman/Jif/Gimborn design is precisely what the Ackerman bottle was modeled on. When I’m home on a real device I’ll post another old advert.

    Here. Right here.

    (And I was apparently misremembering the Gimborn connection on that bottle)

    Car dealers today face increasing competition and the need for a strong online presence. Having professional websites for car dealers is essential to attract potential buyers, showcase inventory, and provide key information. These websites allow dealers to offer virtual tours, online financing options, and even interactive tools for comparing models. By optimizing their online platforms with the right features, car dealers can enhance customer experience, build trust, and streamline the sales process. Websites designed specifically for car dealers can help them stay competitive in the fast-evolving automotive industry while driving more leads and sales.
