Jack, an office supply salesperson, recently called on a customer who was trying to select photos to include in a catalog. The customer wanted to look at the 10 photos side-by-side for comparison, but his easel was too small and the cinderblock walls in the office would not hold tacks or tape. The customer explained that the situation was a regular issue for him. Jack obtained a roll of cork and a can of cork glue to convert an office wall into a giant bulletin board.
