My Encyclopaedia Brittanica Sales, from 1979 thru 1980
Shortly after giving birth to my daughter,

I was seeking employment from the Broward County office and was given a card with Encyclopaedia Brittanica's information. Thanks to that job I was able to get off of unemployment at the time.
I applied and was hired, to sell set(s) of encyclopaedias. I actually sold 5 set(s), and I was unable to negotiate a fair and would be binding contract for my number(s).
If I had sold six I would of earned my own set of encyclopaedias.
Many years went by - with another associate calling me to see if I was ever able to get a personal set for myself yet, and I had to keep saying NO, NOT YET, SORRY, etc......
Decades later I found an 1959 set, in good condition (minus the last half part 2 of the dictionary) at an Elks Club in New Symryna Beach, Fl, while doing some work in the town on business also another business where I was unable to negotiate some wages. I finally purchased for $4.00 in May 1998.
I almost died on May 19th, 1998 these books were still in my car from the trip home.

These LEED customers whom did not purchase also seemed to be lost, i created a system that would allow interaction with my other businesses and coded so I would know if this is an area I could or could not help this potential TEN YEAR customer with interests - even though they did not purchase directly from me on my contact date(s). It seems to have helped, however I still seem to get the feeling they want more and more without the purchase, I will have to draw the line somewhere. Nobody can work for NOTHING, ZILCH, FREE, SKY CONSULTING FREE, FOREVER, and during all of this there have been numerous costs that will never get paid if I continue without compensation,
These who participated with a DONATION of an EARLIER set that gave me the FACING at the MEETING, received a $100.00 discounted price from the OFFICE, I could only process the DIRECTIVE. This has also been a REVERSE concern of mine (both Business and Personal) - this has added costs as well as added to the show if there was one.
These SOLD sets seemed to be out of control, so I created a program code that would allow the users their ten projects in ten years, as well as coded if the sets were passed down in their families.
These records with their names on them were stolen from me on September 20th, 1997.
If you were one of the five purchasers or the heirs, and need to work with me to clear something please contact me.
I was Kathryn Flanagan at the time of sales, now I am using my maiden name Kathryn Bunch.
