1.The following appeared in a memorandum written by the vice president of Nature s Way, a chain of stores selling health food and other health-related products. Previous experience has shown that our stores are most profitable in areas where residents are highly concerned with leading healthy lives. We should therefore build our next new store in Painesville, which has many such residents. Painesville merchants report that sales of running shoes and exercise clothing are at all-time highs. The local health club, which nearly closed five years ago due to lack of business, has more members than ever, and the weight training and aerobics classes are always full. We can even anticipate a new generation of customers: Painesville s schoolchildren are required to participate in a fitness for life program, which emphasizes the benefits of regular exercise at an early age. 2.The following appeared in a letter sent by a committee of homeowners from the Deer haven Acres to all homeowners in Deer haven Acres. Seven years ago, homeowners in nearby Brookville community adopted a set of restrictions on how the community s yards should be landscaped and what colors the exteriors of homes should be painted. Since then, average property values have tripled in Brookville. In order to raise property values in Deer haven Acres, we should adopt our own set of restrictions on landscaping and house painting. 3.The following appeared in a newspaper article about law firms in the city of Megalopolis. |
