Hi, Roger:

Here's an item that we have been selling all over the world.  I think
that your museum visitors will be particularly interested.

The National Park Service, Museum Management Program has designated the
Archaeological Institute of America, San Diego Society as a source for
the printing and distribution of Centimeter Scales used to indicate
object size in photographs. The scales had not been available since the
Government Printing Office discontinued them several years ago.  The
scales come in a set of 2 sizes, 12x2cm and 19x3cm mounted on a card
that fits a plastic 4 inch wide counter-top display or may be hung on a
hook display.  See our Web site for an illustration and information.

Click on Enter, scroll down to, and click the Centimeter Scale banner.
Museum purchase orders are accepted. No credit cards.

Also...We have been selling beautiful Egyptian Design T Shirts that we
get from Oasis Imports. People are not just buying one, but several. On
our recent trip to Egypt we found nothing to compare with these, made
right here in the USA.  See them at:  www.teleport.com/~ddonahue/oasis
Be sure to see designs 3,4,and 5.
Or e-mail Susan Ramsay at  [log in to unmask]

Lots of luck, you can make it happen.
